How do i stop it automatically switching to new tab, the setting is not ticked in options. This is annoying when opening several tabs.

Although I do not have 'switch to new tab immmediately' ticked, when I ask to open in new tab it switches immediately. This is a problem as I open several tabs from my main page and don't want to go to them at once, I'll look at them in order as I need them. Since an update I now have it switching to the opened tab, and I have to keep flicking back to the main tab. It's giving me repetitive strain problems having to keep clicking the mouse more than necessary. It's an option in the settings, I'd like it to rmain that way. I seriously don't want to keep having to go back to my main page every time I want to open a new tab. Could you make it as it was before please, it was super then. Many thanks in advance. :-)

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

  • How do I stop firefox from switching to new tab when opening bookmarks in new tab

    When I open a link in a new tab it does not switch to it automatically. I had to reinstall firefox to stop it from switching to new tabs automatically since the option being unticked didn't stop it from happening anyway. Now only when I open a bookmard in a new tab it still switches to the new tab and I do not want it to. Why is it doing this with the option unchecked and a fresh install with no add ons of any sort? And how do I make it stop?

    Try to set the Boolean pref <b>browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground</b> to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page.

  • How do I stop PE automatically including edited images into the Organiser?

    I use the Organiser to keep track of my original raw photographs. I have many thousands of them, so I don't want to clutter up the organiser with the edited versions I produce later on. However, whenever I edit an image, PE automatically includes it in the organiser, and I have to delete it. Also, there are times when I'm working on graphics - labels, invites, cards etc - which also get included in the Organiser, adding to the mess. Is there a way I can turn this feature off?

    Thanks for your reply, dj_paige. As to why I only want the originals in the Organiser - well, call it an old man's whim.  I've been creating images for longer than I care to remember and for the last 25 years my career has been in digital animation and effects, so I've spent a quarter of a century faking things with pixels.
    But when I take a photograph, that's real. That actually happened. If the sky isn't very blue in the picture, it probably wasn't very blue on the day. Sure, like anyone else I use PE to make beautiful edited versions for my family and friends, but the original raw files are the record of my life, exactly as it was, and the Organiser is my journal.  When I scroll through the pictures (I guess there are about 50,000) I don't want to see anything fake.
    Yes, I'm weird, I know. Sorry!

    Thanks -- none of the automatic download boxes were checked, but the "automatically download pre-orders" box was checked. I've unchecked everything on the Store tab preferences. Thanks for the tip, hopefully this will fix the problem.
    Thanks,

    on OSX 10.9.13 how do i stop things automatically opening e.g.. mail, messenger when I log in?

    Closing the window does not quit the application. It's not Windows. Apps have multiple document windows. Each window is not its own app. So, if all you were doing was closing the document window, the App was still open.
    Kies may have a launchagent set up to start it up when you log in. You'd have to check with Samsung to find out how to disable it. I don't know anything about it, but if you can't solve the dilemma, I can likely lead you to the places to look for the file that causes it to startup.

  • How can a webpage refresh automatically if some new data has entered the da

    hi,
    How can a webpage refresh automatically if some new data has entered the database.
    with thanks
    jp reddy

    There have been several discussions on related topics. HTTP/HTML is not a "push" protocol and therefore is not well suited for this type of application. I would recommend setting a reasonable refresh rate using a META tag or switching to another technology (i.e. Applets) that can provide a push environment.

  • How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    How can you stop iTunes splitting up a cd in the music library

    Try highlighting the tracks in iTunes, right-clicking and Getting Info, then marking them as Part of a compilation.
    If that doesn't take care of it, read Apple's document (where the pic came from) -> Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?
    WTH.
