How to disable drag-and-drop tabs to search bar?

I always have a lot of tabs open in Firefox, and oftentimes I move tabs around, whether intentionally or habitually (and accidentally). The problem is that a lot of times the tab is dragged on/near the search bar and this causes Firefox to respond by copying the tab's address to the search and start searching.
I would like to disable one or both of these. I never use this, especially since whatever address I'm at is already found and if I actually wanted to search for it then I would just copy it and search myself. I want to disable the auto search and if possible, also disable copying the address.

It is possible for window creation, note this work around: [http://www.ghacks.net/2012/12/04/firefox-disable-tab-drag-and-drop-window-creation/] However I did not find one for general dragging/moving tabs.
Another add on that provided more customization tricks is known as:
"[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/?src=search]"
Did this help?

No; as I said, my problem is tabs and the search bar. I drag tabs into new windows practically everyday and the other doesn't seem to have anything related to this either. I only read the description and looked at the pictures and etc, so I did not download it to give it a thorough review prior to declining it as it doesn't seem at all related.
Curious:
Does that ghacks thing also disable the tab-search thing in addition to disabling new windows, or did you just post a completely different tab-drag-drop related issue?
(not rhetorical or sarcastic, I'm actually asking)

  • How to disable drag and drop feature for a document library?

    Hi
    How can I disable drag and drop feature for a document library? Do I have an option to disable it from the SharePoint's feature set?
    Or can I disable it using a script? If so, how?
    Regards
    Paru

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to disable drag and drop feature for a document library.
    Drag and drop in SharePoint 2013 is a feature that depends on HTML5, which requires version of browser, SharePoint by default doesn’t has feature to disable or enable this.
    You can try disabling the drag and drop feature by disabling an add-on in Internet Explorer, or
    using Internet Explorer 9 or lower.
    Here is a similar thread for your reference:

  • ADF Button components: How to disable drag and drop [SOLVED]

    Hi everyone
    I need to develop an application which allows not the user to drag and drop button components. I've converted every single af:commandbutton to h:commandbutton, to prevent this behaviour, but a huge lot of other problems arose from this "solution". I'm using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0.4157, and I'm a beginner, so please be patient with me.
    Thanks in advance.

    Maybe I've drifted off-topic with this, but I found the way to achieve this. The only limitation is that the change must be done on the client's computer. The drag and drop feature can be disabled by going to the about:config page in Firefox, and setting nglayout.enable_drag_images to false. It can also be done in a more "portable" way by creating a user.js script in the profile folder and setting it from there. Thank you all for stopping by and reading.

  • How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes

    I'm working on example from this tutorial( Drag-and-Drop Feature in JavaFX Applications | JavaFX 2 Tutorials and Documentation ). Based on the tutorial I want to drag tabs between two tabs. So far I managed to create this code but I need some help in order to finish the code.
    Source
    tabPane = new TabPane();
    Tab tabA = new Tab();
       Label tabALabel = new Label("Main Component");
    tabPane.setOnDragDetected(new EventHandler<MouseEvent>()
                @Override
                public void handle(MouseEvent event)
                    /* drag was detected, start drag-and-drop gesture*/
                    System.out.println("onDragDetected");
                    /* allow any transfer mode */
                    Dragboard db = tabPane.startDragAndDrop(TransferMode.ANY);
                    /* put a string on dragboard */
                    ClipboardContent content = new ClipboardContent();
                    content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);
                    db.setContent(content);
                    event.consume();
    What is the proper way to insert the content of the tab as object? Into the tutorial simple text is transferred. How I must modify this line content.put(DataFormat.PLAIN_TEXT, tabPane);?
    And what is the proper way to insert the tab after I drag the tab:
    Destination
    tabPane.setOnDragDropped(new EventHandler<DragEvent>()
                @Override
                public void handle(DragEvent event)
                    /* data dropped */
                    /* if there is a string data on dragboard, read it and use it */
                    Dragboard db = event.getDragboard();
                    boolean success = false;
                    if (db.hasString())
                        //tabPane.setText(db.getString());
                        Tab tabC = new Tab();
                        tabPane.getTabs().add(tabC);
                        success = true;
                    /* let the source know whether the string was successfully
                     * transferred and used */
                    event.setDropCompleted(success);
                    event.consume();
    I suppose that this transfer can be accomplished?
    Ref javafx 2 - How to drag and drop tab nodes between tab panes - Stack Overflow

    I would use a graphic (instead of text) for the Tabs and call setOnDragDetected on that graphic. That way you know which tab is being dragged. There's no nice way to put the Tab itself into the dragboard as it's not serializable (see https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-29082), so you probably just want to store the tab currently being dragged in a property.
    Here's a quick example; it just adds the tab to the end of the current tabs in the dropped pane. If you wanted to insert it into the nearest location to the actual drop you could probably iterate through the tabs and figure the coordinates of each tab's graphic, or something.

    how do you drag and drop samples in the ex24 on pro x now that the edit button next to the option tab is no longer there?

    Well, it's aggravating seeing foolish limitations to the program. Having some experience in education, offering a professional program in a limited version is condescending to the user and has never been proven to help students move forward. Plus, some of the choices made to keep Logic simple are confounding... "removing the edit button on the EXS24"?  That's silly!  

  • Drag and drop tabs not working

    Dragging and dropping tabs no longer works. I cannot drag a tab out to a new window or reorder the tabs. This used to work and is a very nice feature. Reordering bookmarks by dragging them around also appears to be broken.
    Disabling plugins or resetting Firefox did not help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Drag and drop tab to bookmark, now add to bottom (previously on the top)

    For some reason, I forgot which version, drag and drop tab to bookmark folder, add the new bookmark on the bottom. Previously, it was added to the top of the list. How can I restore this function? I would like new bookmark on the top, not bottom.
    Thanks

    New bookmarks are always added at the bottom in bare Firefox without installed extensions.
    An extension can modify this behavior and allow to add the new bookmark at the top.
    Did you check the settings in "Add Bookmark Here" extension?
    Also make sure that you have the latest version of all extensions.

      As said above, you can click down, ons use the other finger to drag the object.  I had turned on the setting to use three-finger drag, so you can drag objects with three fingers.  To change gesture settings, go to the system preferences>trackpad.  Here you can also see all of the gestures of Mac OS X.

  • How do I drag and drop an action onto a task flow?

    In How to pass View Object bind variable from ADF page John states that
    You should also consider dragging-and-dropping the executeWithParams operation on your task flow and wiring it to occur before your page instead of putting it in the page definition of the page itself - this way it is more clear what is happening, and is the recommended approach for 11g apps. When you drag-and-drop the operation, you can use the dialog to bind the parameter to your page-flow-scoped variable by supplying the proper EL there.
    How can I drag and drop the executeWithParams method onto a task flow. I am using 11.1.1.5.0 on LINUX?
    I'm presuming I a need a method action in my page flow.
    I have the following action defined in my page def file:
    <action IterBinding="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
    id="executeQueryWithParamsForLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
    InstanceName="BusinessRulesAMDataControl.LocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
    DataControl="BusinessRulesAMDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
    Action="executeWithParams">
    <NamedData NDName="RootEntityId"
    NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.customerEntityId"
    NDType="java.lang.Long" NDOption="3"/>
    <NamedData NDName="Language"
    NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.language}"
    NDType="java.lang.String" NDOption="3"/>
    </action>

    In summary, it appears you need the following artifacts in order to initialize a view object from parameters before rendering a .jsff view that relies on that view
    1) a method-call in task flow.xml file:
    <method-call id="executeWithParamsLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView">
    <method id="__5">#{bindings.executeWithParamsLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView.execute}</method>
    <outcome id="__12">
    <fixed-outcome id="__9">initializedLocalizedCustomerHierarchy</fixed-outcome>
    </outcome>
    </method-call>
    2) a control flow rule in the task flow .xml file whose source is (1) and whose destination is the view for which you want to intiialize a view object that supports an iterator that is bound to a list, tree, etc.
    3) an entry for the execute action in the databindings.cpx file
    <page path="/WEB-INF/[email protected]calizedCustomerHierarchyView"
    usageId="oracle_apps_br_view_RecommendationRulePFPageDef"/>
    4) the page def must be defined in the databindings.cpx file
    5) the page def needs to define action and iterator and list (or otherwise) that is used in UI.
    <iterator id="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
    Binds="LocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
    DataControl="BusinessRulesAMDataControl" RangeSize="25" Refresh="never">
    <sortCriteria>
    <sort attribute="Level" ascending="true"/>
    </sortCriteria>
    </iterator>
    <action IterBinding="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
    id="executeWithParamsLocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
    InstanceName="BusinessRulesAMDataControl.LocalizedCustomerHierarchyView"
    DataControl="BusinessRulesAMDataControl" RequiresUpdateModel="true"
    Action="executeWithParams">
    <NamedData NDName="RootEntityId"
    NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.customerEntityId}"
    NDType="java.lang.Long"/>
    <NamedData NDName="Language"
    NDValue="#{pageFlowScope.recommendationRule.language}"
    NDType="java.lang.String"/>
    </action>
    <list ListOperMode="navigation"
    IterBinding="localizedCustomerHierarchyViewIterator"
    id="customerLocalizedEntityHierarchyList">
    <AttrNames>
    <Item Value="EntityName"/>
    </AttrNames>
    </list>
    6) a backing bean that provides the functions to initialize the parameters for execution
    The easiest way to get most of this is to drag the ExecuteWithParams from within the view in the datacontrols panel right onto the task flow diagram. The downside is that you are left with some pretty poorly named artifacts...
    Did I miss anything?

  • How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group?

    How can I drag and drop a Tidal job into another group? In Tidal Help, it says-
    In the Jobs pane, press and hold the Ctrl key and at the same time right-click and either individually select individual jobs within a job group or drag your mouse cursor over a block of jobs that you wish to select. You can only move multiple jobs between job groups if the jobs being moved are on the same level.
    Keeping the right mouse button depressed, drag the cursor to the job group that you wish to move the jobs to and release the mouse button.
    When moving jobs from one job group to another, you must decide if the moved jobs keep their original job group attributes or assume the calendar and agent characteristics of its new job group.
    A confirmation dialog, offers three inheritance options for the jobs moved to the "new" job group parent. Select one of the following options:
    However, when I attempt to follow those instructions, it doesn't work at all and there is no indication that it's even trying (i.e., I don't see the selected job following my cursor at all and all I get is the normal menu when you right click anywhere on the screen.)
    Is there another way to do this or is there a master setting that needs to be changed so that ability is enabled?
    Thanks.

    Go into edit mode for the job group group and just manually edit the section for Parent job/Group.
    Cheers

  • Cannot drag and drop Tabs

    I have used Firefox for the longest time (Since v1.0) and have loved it in every way. Version 3's tab system was extremely helpful and innovative, and 3.5's drag-and-drop system was excellent.
    I now have version 4, and have had it since about a month ago. Everything worked excellently with all my extensions, until just two days ago. When I attempted to re-arrange my tabs (using drag-and-drop), nothing happened. The little arrow thing didn't appear and it didn't even acknowledge the fact that I was holding down my mouse button. This not only nullified my ability to rearrange my tabs, but also my ability to use my second monitor efficiently using the extension TabFlick.
    Nothing changed when I started Firefox in Safe Mode, nor when I re-installed it. What gives?

    ''"...I cannot drag and drop tabs (the iconic graphic moves but disappears when released)..."''
    Drop the tab when the arrow appears pointing between 2 tabs as depicted here: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Tabbed+browsing#Moving_tabs
    ''"...also I cannot "select" tab for changing child/parent status etc."''
