[Opening Tabs + Searching] How to make it like Chrome?

Hey Community,
I love Firefox and find it better than Chrome in all aspects expect for one.
In Chrome, when I press ctrl+t to open a new tab, the keyboard input automatically directs me to the address bar, where I can type in my url or search term.
In Firefox, when ctrl+t to open a new tab, I have to manually click on the address bar or google search bar.
Is there any way, or addon, to modify this behavior?
Thanks so much!

hello, actually it should work right out of the box like this (with focus on the address bar when a new tab is opened). maybe one of your existing addons is interfereing here - could you try launching firefox in safemode once & see if it's working as intended?

  • In Firefox 3.6, when I clicked on a bookmark it would open in a new tab. In 4.0, the bookmark open in an already open tab. How can I make 4.0 work the way 3.6 did when opening bookmarks?

    I have already made sure the 'Open new windows in a new tab instead' option is checked. It doesn't make any difference (at least not with bookmarks).

    Google search and other websites have a user preference that can be set to open a search result in a new tab or a new window, for users who are logged in to their website.
    Otherwise, when you don't have a 3-button mouse or a scroll pad with "middle-click" functionality, you can use '''{Ctrl + Click}''' to open a hyperlink in a new Tab.

  • How to make something like this

    This is a starbucks commercial :
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xAwKBywrEk
    I've got a few questions :
    - Do you think this is done in Motion? After Effects or Flash or...?
    - What technique is used in this clip? ( I really like how the graphics 'join together' in each frame and the next frame, like it never ends. <-- How do you call that? )
    - If I know nothing about Motion and I want to make something like that commercial. ( Make it 15 secs maybe ) How should I start? ( Illustration first? ) And what techniques should I look at?
    Please help I want to make an advert like that for part of my Major Project to promote recycling...

    hi,
    this is all doable in Motion.
    I would start by designing the film on paper, draw rough sketches of each scene and think about how they might fit together. Then I'd start creating the graphical elements. This could be done in Illustrator, photoshop or directly in Motion, it depends what you are trying to achieve. Once you have all your graphical elements, and a rough idea of how it will work then you can start building it.
    good luck

  • How to make something like this in Edge Animate?

    Hi,
    I'm hoping to make something like this – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJeDppEHI1g – in Edge Animate but I'm not sure where to start.
    I'm new to Edge but am keen to explore.
    Anyone have any feedback on whether:
    1. It's possible, and
    2. What techniques/effects have been used.
    Thanks!

    Hi there and welcome,
      Could you be a little more specific on what it is exactly that you would want to create? Most of what I can see from that website is doable in Edge Animate, but if you specify what it is you'd like to accomplish I could walk you through how to do it.
    Thanks!

  • At variance with Firefox 3, Firefox 4 does not ask me to save the opened tabs when I quit on having multiple opened tabs. How can I do this in Firefox 4?

    In Firefox 3, when I happened to close the program on having multiple opened tabs, Firefox asked me if I wanted to save and remember the opened tabs, so that I could retrieve them at the next Firefox restart. Firefox 4 does not do this anymore. Is it because I have not configured it correctly somehow, or is this normal? How can I recover this function?
    Thanks in advance,
    Andrea

    One change in Firefox 4 is to by default stop Firefox displaying the warning message, but it can be turned back on by changing some preferences.
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
    # Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
    # Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
    # Repeat this for these 3 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''', '''browser.warnOnRestart''' and '''browser.showQuitWarning'''

  • How do make previews like iTunes store?

    I know this may not be the ideal place for this posting, but I hope here people will understand what I am trying to do like iTunes as a reference.
    I want to create online previews of audio and video like iTunes before people purchase the media online.  Ultimately what I'd like to do is have the master video or audio online and the ecommerce system (or whatever system does this) automatically shows a preview of the file rather than me creating separate preview files and master file for download.  The latter would affect disc storage of course.
    Is this possible?  Does anyone have a clue if that's how iTunes works or if they're actually separate files?
    Thanks folks.

    Change US App Store
    1. Tap "Settings"
    2. Tap "iTunes & App Stores"
    3. Tap on your Apple ID
    4.Tap "View Apple ID"
    5. Enter your user name and password.
    6. Tap "Country/Region."
    7. Tap "Change Country/Region"
    8. Select the country/region where you are located.
    9. Tap "Done".
    Note: If the change doesn't take effect, sign out of account and sign in again.

  • How can I see all my open tabs?

    When I use the drop-down Windows menu, it only shows the name of the window, not the tabs within each window. And I don't an option for "Activity Window" (like on Safari), or anything else that will show me all open tabs. How can I see them, as flipping through every open window is a pain....

    Does anyone have a response? Or know why even the windows listed in my dropdown list isn't even in alphabetical order? Why does FF make managing open windows and tabs so very, very, cumbersome and difficult?? No other browser is this lame when it comes to that.... Is it really so hard to put them in order, or to add an "Activity Window", which would show all windows and tabs that are open?
    Also, WHY DON'T the tabs and windows that open up when I hit Restore Previous Session show up in the HISTORY???? If they did, then I could simply delete all the other history, and I would have a list of all the tabs/windows, so when the number becomes too big, I can simply close them out, and at least have access to a means of re-opening them, As of now, I'm stuck either writing them all down, or one by one saving them as bookmarks (which i really don't want to do), , or who knows what, but again, this is a royal pain, that other browsers make far easier....

  • How to get last session open tabs?

    My hard disk is damaged, but I can read/copy files when I install it in other computer as a secondary hard disk.
    The problem happend suddenly, and now I need to recover the last session open tabs. How can I get them? Only URLs of course.
    Thanks.

    I've had what I think is a related problem since the most recent software update.  I have Lion 10.7.4 and have updated to Safari 6.0.  The most noticeable difference is that where previously I had two boxes at the top of the Safari window (one to enter URL addresses, one for Google searches), there is now only one box for both functions.  I don't like that as well, but I can live with it.  However, since the most recent software update my "back button" only works about 5% of the time. Most of the time it is grayed out.  So I usually can't get back to previous pages using the back button.  Also, when I've clicked a link that opens a new window (for instance, going through the return process at Amazon, I clicked UPS locator and it opened a new window), where in the past I would have just clicked the red button after I had the information, the UPS locator window would have closed, and I would have been back at Amazon - now if I close the UPS locator window, all Safari windows close.  The Safari application doesn't close, but the Amazon window closes, I'm back to an empty screen, and I have to open a new Safari window and reenter everything.  I'm using a work-around of clicking on History and selecting the description of the window I want to get back too, but that only works part of the time. In the Amazon example, that's what I did once I had the UPS info, but even though I clicked the correct window description, it took me back to the beginning of the return process & I had to reenter all the info.  Of course, that info was easy to reenter, but if I'm in the middle of a complicated process, it's a big problem.  I've filed a bug report; I surely hope the Apple engineers are able to fix this.  I'm used to using the back button function a lot!

  • How to make a website like this

    Does anyone know a good publication or training DVD that will
    quickly teach me how to make websites like this:
    http://blusites.com/adam/
    I've been taking a flash course through a local college and
    all they teach me is how to do stupid animal animations, animated
    gifs etc... I'm dropping the class hoping that I can teach myself
    and not waste anymore time
    Thanks!

    Personally, why pay to view linda.com videos when you can
    access all the videos you could want for free at
    http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/video_workshop/
    I'm not crazy about the videos anywhere because I might have
    to watch them again and again, but some of the videos have a
    tutorial and a file to download.
    If you're the type that you like to do all you can before
    going to a forum, then you can do these things:
    1. I don't know if you have Adobe Creative Suite 3, but if
    you want to make websites with flash, you will need the program.
    2. I like the flash movie at
    http://blusites.com/adam/blu1.swf,
    but believe it or not, it's a very simple movie. The photographs
    are supplied by a professional photographer, and the flash movie is
    simple.
    3. If you already know how to make movies using Flash, then
    get yourself an Advanced Flash book to to learn faster and become a
    better flash creator. Flash CS3 uses ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0. You
    might like to get a book on ActionScript 3.0 to learn faster.
    You can and will learn faster and better if you take the time
    to do 2. and 3.
    There is a ton of Flash Tutorials at Adobe and other
    websites, do a search and you'll get so many sites it could take
    years to visit them all.
    good luck, hope this helps

  • After quitting a "private browsing" session, and I quit togo back to previously open tabs/pinned sites, 40% of the time, the Browser does not restore all previously open tabs/pinned apps/sites

    Using HP Pavilion Dv7 with Windows Home Premium, 64bit, and only now and then will FF4.0.1 restore previous (normal) session after returning from a private browsing session, )I use the Quit Private Browsing menu item from the Toolbar right-click menu to go back).... In addition, previously Pinned sites (apps) are lost also, and all must be re-added.
    Inconsistent failure and I've not been able to reliably reproduce-- sometimes (about 4-6 times in 10) it just loses all previous information.

    I would add that bookmarks may be organised into folders and subfolders. You may wish to make more use of bookmarks if only to ensure you do not loose everything if your session restore becomes problematic.
    Bookmarks are a bit more robust than the session restore system. Firefox backs them up automatically and you may do so manually. Possibly Firefox will behave better and faster with hundreds of bookmarks but only tens of tabs open. There is also the tabs groups, but that is something I think development has ceased on and may have similar issues to session restore / or open tabs.

  • How to make project across two DVDs with one DVD menu

    Hi!
    I’m working on a large project (3 hours of video with about 10 chapters, over 50 pictures in a playlist, and special feature chapter) and wondering is it possible to make an project across 2 or more DVDs, but to have menu only on first one? I’d like to make an project that comes with menu only on first DVD and when you click on e.g. “special features” button, then you get the message “please insert DVD 2″
    Is it possible and how to make something like that?
    Thank you!

    I would have EACH DVD begin with a menu. Somebody will insert DVD 2 first no matter how you label things.
    Yes, you are right! People just don't want to read, but I'm making an animated menu in AE and it'll take about 300MB (rendered in .mpg). That is what I want to avoid on other DVDs to save some space. You just gave me an idea so I'll make some small menu for other one or two DVDs with just a few informations about what DVD is inserted and what DVD you need to insert if you want to watch something else from that project. Thank you!
    I just have to learn better Encore and its capabilities and limitations (if I have time )
