Switch to tab Bug?

There seems to be a bug in the switch to tab logic where it will force-autocomplete an 'h' for http. This happens if you try to type an address and there's another tab whose address starts with the same letter.
An example probably explains best: let's say you already have a tab open to macnn.com. If you try to go to market.android.com by typing m-a-r etc., the address bar will automatically change to "Switch to tab: http://www.macnn.com" with the 'h' not selected. So if you keep typing it will go to harket.android.com. The only workaround is to keep typing and go back and fix it.
I can post a screenshot if there's a way to do that.

Exactly the same. My workaround is to type a space before the 'm'. Also, it doesn't happen for any other first letter - only 'm' causes the "Switch to tab:" to appear, even if I do have a dozen other weirdly-named tabs open.
'''I found a workaround''': check if your preference '''browser.urlbar.autoFill''' isn't set to '''true'''. Mine was, and these features apparently don't get along well. I set it to '''false''' and can now type 'm'-starting addresses.

Switch Control Scanning Bug

I've noticed a bug in Switch Control mode and I'm not sure where to report it. When the iPad is in landscape, items in the scanning menu do not scan in order. For example, Gestures will be highlighted first instead of Tap. The rest of the scanning sequence is also out of order. This doesn't seem to happen when the iPad is in portrait orientation. I hope someone can look into this. Thanks.

Version 5.0 on a MAC will not let me switch between tabs. I can open a new tab, but when I try to go to a different tab, it just shows me the contents of the tab most recently opened. Help!

Also, pop up blocker works for some time and then just stops working. I have to close and restart Firefox to get it to work again. Help!

I had the same problem, but with Firefox 4.0. My first thought was to update Firefox (after of course restarting FF), but that didn't help it and I had the same problem.
Among others, I had an extension installed and enabled called Tile Tabs 4.10 that I thought could feasibly creating this problem. So I went into my add-ons manager and disabled it, restarted Firefox and the tabs worked properly again. Unfortunately, the Tile Tabs extension is my favorite Firefox add-on and I use it almost every day for managing my web work tasks. I went to the add-on page for Tile Tabs and saw that there was a notice that version 4.10 didn't work properly on Mac OS, and to install version 4.9 of the extension. I saw they had a new, not-yet-reviewed version 4.11 that addressed the Mac OS problem, installed it, and everything seems to be working properly.
I have no idea why all of a sudden I had this problem, as I hadn't updated Firefox or the Tile Tabs extension recently. Also, obviously this might not address your problem, especially if you don't have that add-on installed and enabled. But our problem started at the same time for both of us it appears based on your post time, so its probably not coincidence.
But its worth a look, and you might want to check out other extensions if you don't have Tile Tabs that could be causing the problem.

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.

I can no longer (since upgrading to the latest firefox) open up multiple tabs of the same page (something I need to be able to do when emailing and referencing multiple emails while writing one email). The only option it gives me is to 'switch to tab'.

I'll try to make this clear. I USED to be able to left click on a hyper link and the hyper link would open in a NEW tab. Now for some unknown reason the hyper link by default opens in the same tab (window). I have to right click the hyper link in order for it to open in a NEW tab. (Yes, my 'tools'> 'options'> 'tabs' are set to "open new windows in a new tab." (Please no answers telling me to get rid of the Ask toolbar because I don't have one.) Thank you.

Is there a Keyboard shortcut to: a) Switch between Tab Groups? b) Switch between matching Panorama search results?

a) Switching between tab groups would improve my workflow. Like Alt+(Shift+)Tab to switch to next/prev Tab. Cmd+Shift+W/R wold be another possible option beside the Cmd+Shift+E for Panorama.
b) When searching in Panorama Tabbing between results would be great.

CTRL+SHIFT+E got me to the tabs group "menu" so you could pick which tab you wanted. it's all explained here:

I hope this is what you were looking for.

Why can't I use command+alt+arrows to switch between tabs correctly anymore?

I used to be able to use the method of command+alt+left or right arrows to switch between tabs. For example: I could be playing an online game, and be clicking things inside of the box on the screen that the game was on, use the method, and easily switch to another tab. Now, however, it doesn't let me switch between tabs unless i click outside of the game area.

Don't forget that there are many "pieces" to internet access that must all be set to make manual IP selection work, namely:
1) Your IP address
2) The addresses of your DNS servers
3) The default route via which packets leave your network ("router" in Network->TCP/IP)
4) Your subnet mask
As mentioned above you also need to assign an address from outside the DHCP pool that is on the same subnet, as at least some routers will refuse to route traffic that seems to originate from IP addresses that fall within the DHCP pool over which it has control if it did not yet assign that IP address to a client.

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

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.

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?

You can disable it by using the Switch to Tab no more add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/switch-to-tab-no-more

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?

Why doesn't the rotate gesture on my trackpad behave as it used to for switching between tabs when it works the same with all other programs besides Firefox?
I changed the about:config to make the rotate gesture move between tabs, and it worked great for well over a year. Now it behaves erratically as described here:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=877598
It used to be very controllable to move one tab over, now it is erratic and moves quickly and to unexpected tabs regardless of how slow I do the rotate gesture. This is the main reason I use Firefox over Chrome and I would like to continue to do so unless there is no fix to this.

Just set the browser.gesture.twist.threshold to something around 15-25.

I was able to switch between tab groups on Firefox 4 with ctrl-`, but not on Firefox 5; why?

I updated yesterday from the most recent version of Firefox 4 to Firefox 5 on Mac OS 10.6.7. On Firefox 4 I was able to switch between tab groups using ctrl-` (I loved this feature—I find the mouse-based interface clunky). Now that shortcut either does nothing or shows all tabs at once, as if they were in the same group (although, if I use cmnd-shift-E, the panorama view still shows several groups and if I choose one from there, only one group's tabs display).

I am also using Firefox 5 and this shortcut works for me.

Check this blog post to see how to properly disclose tabs: Decompiling ADF Binaries: Programmatically disclosing a ShowDetailItem in a &lt;af:panelTabbed&gt;
You can't stop inline frame reload because this will automatically happen if his position in page DOM structure is changed(for example, when you disclose tab).
So if you want to avoid inline frame refresh then you need to use some other container(maybe af:navigationPane with af:commandNavigationItem) and show/hide your components by using javascript.

Is it possible to get the 'Switch to tab' option higher when typing in the Awesome Bar?

Hello,
I'm currently running the latest version of Aurora and although I really like it, there's one thing that kind of annoys me. I'm often running more than 100 tabs at once, and searching all of them to find the desired tab takes a long time, therefore I'd love to use the 'Switch to tab' function, but more often than not, that option is very far down the list of suggestions, causing me to not notice them. So I'd like to know if it's possible to have this option display as one of the first suggestions, instead of putting in further down the list.
Thanks in advance,
xMyth

you can also change the character within the firefox configuration: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.urlbar.restrict.openpage'''. double-click it and change its value to any other key instead of the preconfigured %.
