How can I make Firefox respect the option to open new tabs in the background? Since 3.x and continuing to Nightly it insists on focusing them immediately?!

Firefox 2.x would open new tabs in the background, but ever since 3.0 it seems to completely ignore this setting.

They only focus for me on the first creation and not when they refresh.
Are you seeing the same?

  • How can I make Thunderbird 31.4.0 always open with Inbox? The add-on "select Inbox" does not always work!

    Starting with TB 31.2 - some four months ago - I have not been able to open TB to the Inbox. I downloaded the "Select INbox" add on many times (and disabled/removed as many times) but it does not work consistently. When it does finally work I have no idea why. And then the next time, it doesn't work again!

    I still have this problem. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. This morning TB opened to the Inbox but I have little confidence that it will do that again.
    In earlier post I already replied that I don't have CCleaner on my computer. I also have not downloaded any programs since I began to have this problem.
    Now I wonder if the Intego Net Barrier and Virus Barrier could be having a negative influence. I've been using these for years and have not changed their settings in any way for years. If they could be the reason that the settings are erased between TB starts what should I do?
    You can probably tell that I only use my computer and do not understand anything about programming, etc.! I need complete, step-by-step explanations for a computer dummy.
    Thanks in advance.

  • When pressing Ctrl+f to find something in a page the Find box remains open until I close it, in ALL tabs I have in the firefox window. How can I make firefox open the Find box ONLY in the tab I am in?

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.
    Another possibility is to use:

  • How can I make Firefox recognise that I have changed the DNS servers to use?

    After I edit /etc/resolv.conf to make my computer use more reliable DNS servers, Firefox doesn't notice until I restart it. How can I make Firefox notice the change without restarting it?

    I discovered that I can do this by ticking Work Offline in the File menu, and then immediately unticking it again.
    (I believe this mimics what would happen if the operating system disconnected and reconnected from a wireless network, which would be a situation where Firefox would need to check for new DNS servers. So that explains why it works.)

  • Upgraded to Firefox 23 and now my yahoo bookmarks don't have the option to open all tabs in a folder. How can I do this.

    The option to open all tabs in a folder is not available any more on my yahoo toolbar. On this computer and my home computer which I just upgraded to firefox 23 and that option disappeared. I need to open all tabs in a folder at one.

    Hi ziccs, is the missing feature to open a group of bookmarks all at once in separate tabs?
    I haven't explored the Yahoo! toolbar in detail, but it was just updated recently. I noticed the description "new user interface" on the versions page. You also can use that page to re-install the earlier version and see whether the missing function returns.

  • How can I get Firefox 8 to open new tabs at the end?

    Hi,
    I know there's a way to make Firefox open new tabs at the end instead of this really annoying forced 'open new tabs next to open tab behaviour'. Can anyone help me find it?
    Thanks!
    Evan

    You can set the pref <b>browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent</b> to <i>false</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
    *Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

  • How can I make mp3 versions of songs I have purchased? Under the 'Advance' in the menu for iTunes, that choice is dimmed.

    How can I make mp3 versions of songs I have purchased? Under the 'Advance' in the menu for iTunes, Creating mp3 version is dimmed.

    Have you quit and re-launched iTunes? Does the menu item become active then? Or are you trying to convert a protected file, which isn't possible. You can tell if the file is protected by doing a Get Info. If Kind says "protected AAC audio file" the file can not be converted in-place. It must first be burned to Audio CD which you can then import into iTunes as an MP3.
