How to disable 'Switch to Tab' feature in Firefox 4?

This is a very annoying feature. Is there any about:config option to completely turn it off?

Why do we need an add-on for that. This is nonsense. I don't want add-ons for every feature. I want simple and logical usable features. I want the old firefox back :(
The firefox that just worked. Remember?
And I don't want to open in a new tab. I just want it to open in the current tab.

  • Disable switch to tab

    is there a way to disable the new function of "switch to tab" as i frequently require multiple instances of the same tab - that ability been disabled by this new feature!

    You can remove the checkmark on "Open Tabs" in the location bar settings.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:<br />[] Open tabs
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Options+window+-+Privacy+panel
    Note that you can hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.
    * Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
    * Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
    * Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.

  • With the switch to tab feature, is there a way to enable it for clicking bookmarks in the bookmarks bar?

    say using the site meebo, if i receive a message and click the bookmark instead of the tab is there a way to have it open the tab already in progress instead of opening a new instance of meebo?

    The switch to tab feature is only available when you are typing in the Location (a.k.a. Awesome) bar. Clicking on a bookmark will always open the bookmarked page in either the current tab or a new tab.

  • Disable Switch To Tab Function when clicking a link

    When i click some links particularly in gmail, for instance if i get an email from youtube about a video being uploaded and i click said video, firefox opens this link in a new tab but the problem is that it automaticly switches to that tab which i hate. this happens with other links that want to open in a new tab to.
    Switch to tab no more or switch to tab blacklist does not work. i did have a fix for it within the about:config page but i recently refreshed firefox and it removed the function. preferably i dont want to use an extension to solve this

  • I can't find the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature in Firefox 5 that used to be there. Was it moved or just removed?

    I can't find the "Bookmark All Tabs" feature in Firefox 5 that used to be there. Was it moved or just removed?

    Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
    You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
    * "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).

  • How do I disable 'group your tabs' feature?

    I must have hit the 'group your tabs' feature by mistake and now I can't get it to stop grouping my tabs. I really hate this feature, don't want to use it because I don't want them grouped and for the life of me, can't figure out how to shut the darned thing down now!!
    I have restarted, disabled and reenabled all of my addons, renamed the localstore file and still can't find a way to stop it.
    I'm guessing there might be a switch in the about:config area, but I don't want to mess with that unless I have instructions.
    Please help...

    Go to Customise Toolbar and drag group tab back onto list of toolbar icons.

  • How to forbid "switch to tab" completion results ?

    Link completion is very useful feature, except one little thing - some links there have "switch to tab" attribute, which I consider useless and harmful.
    There are many site models that do not reflect position in top URI (for example, using POST params, navigating in subframes, etc.), and such links only waste visible completion popup slots.
    How can I disable such "switch to tab" links/attributes ?
    Ctrl+click works (openning one excess tab), but it's half measure.
    Safe mode doesn't stop such behavior, so it's core feature.

    Greetings, Curtis,
    Thanks a lot! That's the exactly what I need.

  • Why can't I open a new tab for the same website? Want to disable 'switch to tab'.

    I used to be able to open multiple tabs for the same website on Firefox 3.xx. I could download files from one tab and work from another. How can I disable the 'switch to tab' function?

  • 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.

  • How to Disable Group Manager Tab for Specific OU(Organizational Unit)

    Hi All,
    How can i disable Group Manager Tab for particular OU(Organizational Unit) in OAM 10.1.4.0.1? Where should i configure to disable this particular stuff?
    Can someone please give suggestions on this issue?
    Thanks,
    Ganesh

    Hi Ganesh,
    If you have many OUs under the searchbase that you want to include, but one that you want to exclude, then you could add a filter to the Group Manager tab (in Identity System Console/Group Manager configuration/Tabs menu item) like:
    (!(ou:dn:=mygroup))
    where mygroup is the ou that you want to exclude
    Depending on your ldap sctructure, it may be more appropriate to add searchbases that you want to include rather than use filters to exclude those that you don't want.

    Colin
