How to disable "Double Click on Tab Bar to Open New Tab" feature?
Since I upgraded to FF3 I've noticed this very annoying feature with tabs. If you double-click the 2-3 pixel wide bar just beneath tabs, it opens a new empty tab and sets the focus to that new tab (Which means I then have to go close that tab before going back to the tab I originally wanted). I happen to do this a lot by mistake (I go to click on a tab, but haven't clicked high enough, and of course, it doesn't change to the tab, so I unconsciously click again, which activates a new tab). I never open new empty tabs (alt-enter + middle click), and I have tabs to load in the background (i.e. to not *steal* the focus), so everything about this feature serves as an annoyance to me. Is there anyway to disable this "feature" (Either by disabling it, or making the width of the bar 0. I don't care either way)?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF3
You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs.<br />
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button.<br />
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.
I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.

I just upgraded to new firefox and there seems to be a new "feature", which makes working with multiple (50-80+) tabs impossible.
When I click the move to left tab / move to right tab button, instead of being moved twice, everything jumps at gigantic speed for 15 or 20 tabs (something like PG up, PG down button maybe).
This makes firefox unusable and Im considering downgrading.
How to disable this "feature"?
I tried messing around with
toolkit.scrollbox
but apparently the new mentality of the developers is "WE KNOW BETTER".

How to disable Double Click Import
Hi im new to CS6 and I find the double click import more trouble than it is helpfull. Clicking through clips im always missing the clips by a little this then brings up the import window then I have to close it and precious seconds are lost (its annoying). Is there a way to disable this.
thanks,
IanOn windows if you go to where it says "start/the windows icon" on the bottom left of your taskbar. Then go to "control panel" also make sure the view is set to "category small icons" (it should say view by it's in the upper right area of the control panel) then select "mouse". Then check the "pointer options tab".
Then make sure the "enhance pointer precision" option is enabled. Then also enable to the "snap to" option as well. For me this makes my mouse more precise. (IMO anyways)
Although I haven't really experinced the problem you're describing, I have however had issues with mouse precision before on certain systems. This setting has always helped me out with that. -
How to disable double-click shift
Hi,
Working in powerpoint, or any design software, is incredibly frustrating with the new double-click shift for capslock "feature". Capslock keeps toggling on and off because I press shift often while working with shapes.
How do I disable this "feature". I would rather not have capslock at all than have every second thing I enter in powerpoint be accidentally capitalised.
Thanks,Not possible?

Disabling double click on SAP icon to create new support message
When we double click on SAP icon, it gives pop-up for create message. Please tell me how to disable this message generation from SAP systems.
Thanks.Hi,
i do not think you can deactivate this.
A workaround could be to implement BADI SBCOS001 and use the statement LEAVE_PROGRAM to abort the popup before it is shown.
But this would also deactivate the function "Help->Create Support Message".

As stated, double clicking my iPod's home button pulls up the search feature, when what I want is the multitasking feature. This issue is extremely frustrating; I don't even use the search feature! It doesn't matter if I make two deliberate clicks, two rapid clicks, or any variation in between. Sometimes it works, but the majority of the time, it just pulls up search. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a common problem? If so, would updating my iPod to the latest firmware fix the issue? Any help or advice would be appreciated, this is extremely annoying. Thanks!
Search should come if with only one click (from the home page). Try a Reset, if that does not work, a restore From backup. If still no go, you probably have a hardware problem. Make an appointment at the Genius bar of your Apple store.

When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab
When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
<br />
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />

How can I make double clicking the space bar to make a period less sensitive
Hi! When I double click the space bar, it makes a period, which I love. What drives me crazy is that it thinks I'm double clicking the space bar quite frequently, so it'll insert a period in the middle of the sentence. How can I make my space bar less sensitive? I know that I can turn off the period shortcut, but I would prefer to leave it on, just with a less sensitive keyboard setting. Help!
It sounds like the space key is getting worn out. You may need to get the device exchanged under warranty if it's less than a year old.

Double Click on Tabe area does not open new tab any moee, why?
I just updated (bad word because it is a serious DOWN grade) to 29.0. What a terrible mistake. If I wanted to use Chrome I would use Chrome. This version of FF is total shit.
1) How do I get rid of that horrid big orange FF button?
2) How do I re-enable double click on tab bar to open a new tab?
3) How do I fix the navigation buttons (forward is ½ hidden under back)?
4) How do I restore the colors (theme?) to my previous settings?
5) Why is FF trying to be chrome anyway?To clarify, the list of previously or later visited pages does still show up when I right click on the navigation arrows in the Developer Version, but I cannot open any of the links in the list in a new tab with the mouse wheel or "Ctrl + Left Mouse Click".

MY FIREFOX NEW TAB NOT WORKING NIETHER WITH + NOR WITH RIGHT CLICKING ON TAB OR DOUBLE CLICKING ON TAB
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

How to avoid double-click to click-box
Hello,
until now I did not find a solution for this problem:
I have created a training course for a specific application, and in this coure are some click boxes on which the user should click. On many click boxes should the user click only once but if he double-click the click box, in real application nothing happens. There is only one way to succes the action - one click. But in captivate when the user double-click the click box instead of one click it evaluate as success action (the click box is set only to one click, double-click checkbox is not checked).
So my question is, is there any way how to avoid double-click in cases where the user should click only once? Or in case he double-click the click box to show failure caption?
Many thanks.
LukasHi all
Interesting thread. Unfortunately, what would be needed here is some sort of a widget that would run some internal timer. Sure, you can try multiple Click Boxes and configure one with a Single Click and one with a Double Click. But the problem with that (as I see it) is regardless of what you might try, the Single Click will win out every time. Thus you would need a widget of some sort that would "listen" for a Double Click and respond appropriately.
Tough call... Rick
