How to focus the tab in Firefox 3.6 (to move to beginning/end)

I believe in previous versions of Firefox, when the tab was focused, you could use the keyboard shortcuts ctrl+end or ctrl+home to move the focused tab to either the end or beginning of your tabs. This functionality no longer seems to work, I believe because I can no longer actually focus a tab. Previously, but selecting the tab, I'd see a little box highlighting the text inside of the tab. I can still drag tabs to different locations, but being able to move them all the way to the beginning or end with a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I believe in 3.6

Hello,
I had this problem too. It seems to be a request since Firefox 3.5. You must have focus on tabs bar in order the shortcuts [Ctrl][Left] and [Ctrl][Right] work. You can read information about that here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462289
I made a small plugin to provide new shortcuts to move tabs: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/220875/

How to change the tab order in adf forms.

Hi,
I design a from in adf jsff page.In the form i have 4 components. These components are surrounded with a panel form layout. Now if i put number of columns as 2 in the property inspector of the PFL.
Components appear as 2 fields in the first row and next two fields are in the second row.
Now my doubt is, when I tab out 1 field to another field. The tab out is Horizontal. But I want the tab out to be vertical. Please suggest how to make the tab out feature as vertical.
Thanking in advance,
Sudipta

I don't think we have something called tab index in adf like in javascript. This may not possible in adf.

E-Rec 6.0: How to increase the tabs on Candidate Profile

Hello,
I'm trying to find out how to increase the tabs that we see on Candidate Profile. In any clients, only 5 tabs are visible on the profile and for more, the candidate clicks on next to view other tabs and then submit the profile. I searched for all configuration tables and code but could not find any.
I appreciate if anyone could share this info if they know how to do this.
Points would be awarded .
Thank you
K.

Hi,
You can configure the tabs at Technical Settings->User interfaces->Setting for BSP->Flexibilization->Container Sequences.
if you want to add one tab, you have to define one element for container sequence and then assign it to the container of candidate profile at Modify Container Sequence.
Best Regards,
Shaoming

[DATA LOSS] I closed the Tab Groups and all my tabs dissapeared. How can I recover the tabs in Firefox 26? Would you please just delete this feature?

Thank-you in advance for reading all of this.
A slip of the mouse in trying to return to the left-most tab caused the tab groups feature to take over the window. I completely failed to comprehend what I was looking at and closed the thing by clicking the x because I damn sure didn't want what I was looking at. Undo close group? Of course not, I didn't want a group in the first place. Hey! My tabs are completely gone now! So in just a few steps all of which seemed innocent, I have lost all but ten of the tabs that were open, and those were only the most recent ten (and actually older tabs would have been more valueable than newer so insult on top of injury).
I don't think increasing the number of undoable tab closures is the answer. I think getting rid of the tab groups feature all together is the best way to go. I seem to have lost all the tabs I had open, irretrievably, and some of them had been open for WEEKS so they can't be reopened from history.
The tab groups feature is a data loss bug. Please remove it from the UX completely. If you have to figure out a way to grandfather people who actually have a tab group, fine but don't further vex me with it, please.
The reason this catastrophe has occurred is that your feature, was so discoverable that I activated it by mistake, and the UI after that had to be learned on the spot, yet was too complicated to learn. You really should withdraw it until you can figure out how to keep the UI for it from causing data loss such as I have experienced this morning.
Also, there may be other questions on this feature which are from a certain point of view the same as this one. It's hard for me to tell for sure. None of them had a true resolution so that's why I posted this one, also I'm seeking a specific fix, removal of the offending feature.
Why remove the feature? Because if I allow in my discussion the possibility of retaining it, it will stick around in its present and dangerous form until your team is done bikeshedding the new form it should take. Instead I want you to delete the feature and then require its champion to convince you that a new incarnation won't cause data loss before you allow it back in.
Fellow users, if you know of a way to recover all 50 lost tabs from an "undo close tab group incident", I would be grateful for that advice, but I would still believe the feature should be deleted. Some of the tabs have been retained for months so digging them out of the history is not practical.

I am not 100% certain but I am fairly sure development of this tab feature has ceased and it is likely to be deprecated. I am even less sure what the replacement will be.
Thus forum is not the place for discussing development issues or feature requests. (Developers do not use this site)
*You could comment using feedback <br /> https://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback
*Or try to find a developers forum or mailing list <br /> http://www.mozilla.org/about/forums/#general-development
I have not tried this and am not even using Windows at present but the tabs groups are stored as entries in the sessionstore.js files. Firefox has such a file plus sometimes numbered copies and a backup copy. Firefox will have re-writen these files but I suppose there is a posibility the Windows OS may have kept copies.
* see http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Previous-versions-of-files-frequently-asked-questions
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Sessionstore.js Note the files are kept within the Firefox Profile
** Firefox Button -> Help -> Troubleshooting [open profile] (or some thing similar) is one method of locating the profile.
Find and backup any current sessionstore.js file. Consider also bookmark or otherwise recording anything you have open. Now find any previous versions and try putting them in Firefox's profile before restarting it.

How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
Thank you and I hope this helps!

How to see the Tabs in Aurora( windows 8 app ) ? I only can see them by oppening a new tab. But In case I want to change tab I can't see them.

I Install Firefox Aurora as it support windows 8 style app. But In the windows 8 mode , the tab are hidden which I think is a good style. But I cant see any option to see them when I want. I just can see them when I open a new window. And select the option "open in the new window", it just show the tab bar which is not like the original version of Firefox. And also the search engine here is bing.com . How to change it.

Where did you see Aurora as a Windows 8 application?
Aurora is not the name of a version but one of the four main development channels. They are Release (26.0), Beta (27.0b9 currently), Aurora (28.0a2) and Nightly (29.0a1). When Firefox 27.0 is released on Feb 4 the versions will move/merge to next channel around time also.
Aurora is not meant for regular use as Aurora and Nightly gets checkins almost everyday and they get a update each of those days.
Also there is a good chance that the Australis that many people dislike will move with 29.0 from Nightly to the Aurora channel next week.
Edit:
Hmm you may have seen older articles like https://blog.mozilla.org/futurereleases/2013/09/21/help-test-a-preview-of-firefox-optimized-for-windows-8-tablets/
At the time of that article, version Firefox 26.0 was being developed early on the Aurora channel.

How to recognize the tab key in a JTextField

I have a drawing program with a main window and a tools palette, which is a JDialog. The tools palette has JToggleButtons and one JTextField. When you have the focus in the JTextField and you press tab repeatedly, it tabs through all the JToggleButtons and then back into the JTextField.
However I would like to recognize the pressing of the tab key and ask for the focus to go back to the main window.
I subclassed the JTextField, added a KeyAdapter, but it does not recognize the tab key. I also added the processKeyBinding method, but it doesn't recognize the tab key either.
How can I recognize the tab key?
Here is a self-contained test program that illustrates the problem:

Wow, Michael, you work like magic! Thanks so much! I would be happy to give you a commercial key to my Ananya Curves program also once the second release is on my website. It's a program for drawing curves in an easier way without pulling on tangent lines, with all control points right on the curve. Just send me an email to [email protected] if you are interested!

How to stop the "Tab Key" from acting as a "SEND" button in gmail

Since installing the Firefox update today, when I hit the keyboard Tab Key in the course of composing an email on gmail, it sends the (!unfinished!) message. I need to disable this "feature". How?

In the compose window if you hit tab you are tabbing through the buttons on the compose window. You have to hit space in order to sent the message. Please check to see if there is a feature in your gmail that is added to the default. Or see if there is an add on that has saved this feature. You can try safe mode to eliminate the add on theory [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]] and reset Firefox if it is a saved application preference.

How to change the tab of a jTabbedPane when action performed

The scenario is like this : I have a jTabbedPane with 2 tabs. I want, when an action is performed in one tab (for example a button is clicked on tab1) to change the tab automatically (to make tab2 visible). How can i do this?
Thank you in advance

I've read JTabbedPane API before i post the message, but unfortunately i couldn't find a solution to my problem. I tried to use the methods grabFocus and requestFocus to change the focus of the application, but it didn't work.
Thank you for replying Nether.

How to Restore pinned tabs without 'firefox start page'?

i have 2 pinned tabs and firefox is set up to 'Show my windows and tabs from last time'.
for some reason, every time i start firefox it starts with my two pinned tabs in the background plus the 'mozilla firefox start page' up front.
how can i start firefox with only my pinned tabs?
thanks in advance!

zer0nix,
Please update to the most recent version of Firefox:
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
In order to start Firefox with just the two pinned tabs, it is possible to change from "Show tabs from last time" to "homepage" and to list the two pinned tabs from the home page.
