Tab Bar Behavior in Yosemite

Prior to Yosemite, when the number of open tabs exceeded the width of the window, there was a drop down arrow on the right side of the window to show all of the extra tabs in a list. That behavior in Yosemite has been changed for Safari so that you swipe left or right to go through the open tabs.
Is there a way to get the drop down list in Safari for extra tabs just like in Mavericks?

I too hate how the tabs work in Safari 8 in Yosemite. And the fonts are waaaay to small and blurry.

How to use the Hide Tab Bar Command in Yosemite?

I guess I need a lesson in some basic Safari functionality. In Safari 8, when only one page is open (one tab, therefore), the Hide Tab Bar command in the View menu is functional. But, when a second tab is opened, the command is grayed out and the tab bar (at least in my configuration) is on screen with both tabs.
What is the point, therefore, of the Hide Tab Bar command if it is only functional when one tab is open? Or, do I need to configure my Safari differently so it can be functional with many tabs open?
Thanks for the guidance.

I tried this solution (using CP 5.5) but only to limited success. The TOC search seems to be able to pick up on some of the script but not all. I think it might be chronological, as in it will search within the first part of the script but not in latter parts, but I can't be sure. Are there any limitations to this solution, such as script (within the text box) length? Also, this may or may not be related, but the TOC rearranged and renamed all of my slides. For example, I have no duplicate slide labels and they are in order within the project, but my TOC looks like this:
Slide 2
Slide 2
Slide 3
Slide 4
Slide 4
Slide 21
Slide 40
Slide 70
Slide 16
etc...
As the project plays, the TOC status checkmarks jump around the list, appearing next to the corresponding slide (although in most cases mislabeled). Any guidance correcting these issues would be most helpful. Please let me know if you need any more information.

I get a strange behavior of the tab bar and of the location bar in Firefox 29.0 for Mac.

I have just installed Firefox 29.0 for Mac.
I get a strange behavior of the tab bar and of the location bar with this new version.
Instead of the location bar, I get two rows of symbols. And it's impossible to write anything in the location bar.
(I'd like to add a screenshot, but I cannot find a way to do it.)

Thank you for your tip.
I found the culprit: it was an extension called RSS Icon 1.0.6.
I removed it and now Firefox 29.0 is working perfectly.
Now I'll have to find a replacement for that extension.
Thank you once again. Your tip was essential.

Yosemite hide tab bar

Can you hide the tab bar if there are multiple tabs? The command is grayed out.

Hi MikeAdamsCT,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You can only hide the tab bar in Safari if you do not have multiple tabs open.
The article below mentions this for Safari 7 in Mavericks, but the function is the same in Safari 8 on Yosemite:
Safari 7 (Mavericks): Customize the Safari window
Hide or show Safari bars:
From the View menu, choose commands to hide or show the toolbar, Favorites bar, tab bar, or status bar. You can’t hide the tab bar when the window has multiple tabs.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Tab Bar Right click changed behavior

When right clicking on the tab bar in FF 4, I get the toolbar customization menu. In previous versions, I'd get a menu that included options for tabs (i.e. new tab, reopen closed tabs, etc). In FF4, this menu is only on existing tabs.
Is it possible to get the old behavior back?

Why can't this be fixed. Firefox 4 is horrible and changed everything. No one wants it this way. You don't just change stuff to make it not work the same because ONE geek wants it changed. You are losing typical users by doing this. Can you simply update FFx3.6 and release it as, say 3.7 for those of us who don't want all these changes? Plus, please change your release schedule to once every 3 to 4 years, I'm tired of seeing this "surprise" update stuff all the time, I hate updates especially when they break everything. THANKS

What is the function of show tab bar in safari setting?

this tool is in setting > safari > show tab bar on/off
any one know how it work

Hey Samooo205,
I see that you have some questions about the tab bar in Safari. Some information about this can be found in the following article:
Safari 7 (Mavericks): Customize the Safari window
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH17153
If you need help visually identifying the tab bar, you can find that information here:
Safari 8 (Yosemite): View webpages in tabs
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19261
As it said in the first article, the tab bar option that you are wondering about only affects the behavior of the tab bar when there is only one tab open. If there are multiple tabs open, the tab bar will be shown, regardless of this setting. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden

How to disable "Double Click on Tab Bar to Open New Tab" feature?

Since I upgraded to FF3 I've noticed this very annoying feature with tabs. If you double-click the 2-3 pixel wide bar just beneath tabs, it opens a new empty tab and sets the focus to that new tab (Which means I then have to go close that tab before going back to the tab I originally wanted). I happen to do this a lot by mistake (I go to click on a tab, but haven't clicked high enough, and of course, it doesn't change to the tab, so I unconsciously click again, which activates a new tab). I never open new empty tabs (alt-enter + middle click), and I have tabs to load in the background (i.e. to not *steal* the focus), so everything about this feature serves as an annoyance to me. Is there anyway to disable this "feature" (Either by disabling it, or making the width of the bar 0. I don't care either way)?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to FF3

You can hold down the mouse button on a scroll button a bit longer to initiate scrolling multiple tabs. 
Otherwise you need to wait longer between the clicks on the scroll button. 
If you click twice on a tab bar scroll button too fast then you perform a 'page up' or 'page down' and the tabs scroll a tab bar width like you noticed.
I'm not sure what you mean with new feature because this is the behavior in Firefox 3.6.x as well.

How can I make the Smooth Scrolling option in the Advanced menu apply ONLY to the tab bar?

So, I'm one of those people who usually have 60+ tabs open at any given time. I'm also on a Lenovo laptop with a trackpoint (that may be relevant later).
Right now, I have smooth scrolling disabled.
In previous versions of Firefox, if I sat my cursor on the tab bar and scrolled either up or down, it would scroll across my tab bar at a constant, quick rate, usually taking about two or three seconds to reach the end. This wasn't an animated scroll (I've disabled that animated scroll via about:config in the current Firefox version).
However, now, it's doing something different. There's acceleration to the scroll. If I just tap the scroll in either direction, it scrolls only a few tabs. However, if I hold the scroll for a second, it instantaneously takes me to the far end of the tab bar, completely skipping at least thirty tabs in between.
I have tab scroll buttons added by Tab Mix Plus (smooth scrolling is also not enabled in that addon), and the same accelerating behavior occurs there. One or two taps of the button moves the bar a few tabs to the left or right, but several taps in quick succession takes me all the way to the far end of the bar.
I can restore the old scrolling behavior for the tab bar by turning on smooth scrolling in the Options > Advanced menu, but that turns on smooth scrolling for web pages at the same time. I don't like the web page smooth scrolling, and would rather not have it on.
Or if there's any other way to make it so that scrolling the tab bar moves the tab bar a fixed amount no matter what, that would be great.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

In 3.6, any way to open new Tabs at the right end of the Tab Bar instead of the left end?

I've just updated Firefox to 3.6.22 from 3.5.19, and noticed a minor behavioral change.
I often open a list of links in a single webpage into tabs.
In 3.5, each new tab opened was positioned on the tab bar at the right of the last tab opened - like this:
Tab1, Tab2, Tab3, --->
Now, in 3.6, each new tab opened gets positioned at the left side of the last tab opened - like this:
<--- Tab3, Tab2, Tab1.
I used to browse each webpage in order left to right. Now it's backwards, a bit like reading Arabic?
Is this a correct behavior in 3.6?
If it is, is there a way to change it to the way it behaves in 3.5?
(about:config ?)
Thanks

You can set the pref browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent to false on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold (user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default via the right-click context menu if they are user set
*Preferences can be changed via the right-click context menu: Modify (String or Integer) or Toggle (Boolean)

How Do I Save Tab Bar Order When Customized? Using Storyboards.

Anyone out there who could really explain to my how i save the order of the tab bars when the application terminates, making them stay in the order when the application is re-launched? I have been all around the web for this one, and I can´t find a explenation that really explains how to do it. It would be really awsome if someone out there could help me with how I could solve this, really explaining where the different code should go. Keep in mind that i´m using storyboards!
Cheers

That URL is part of a support thread; I'm not sure why you are getting that error.
Google's search preference ([http://support.google.com/websearch/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=425 Support Answer 425]) relates to what happens when you click a link in your search results page: whether it loads in the same tab or a new tab (or new window, if you don't divert new windows to tabs). So that's useful, but it doesn't address your request.
The short term workarounds are:
* If you usually search by pressing Enter, hold the Alt key to launch the search in a new tab -- setting the preference '''browser.search.openintab''' makes the Alt key unnecessary
* If you usually search by clicking the magnifying glass icon, hold the Ctrl key to launch the search in a new tab or "middle-click" the button -- as far as I can tell, there is no preference to do this automatically
Some tab-related add-ons might solve this problem. I saw one blog post saying Tab Mix Plus will change the magnifying glass behavior to always open in a new tab.

Firefox 35 won't hide address and tab bar in full screen on OS X 10.10

Hi, when I put firefox full screen, I expect the address bar and tab bar to auto-hide. From google searching it seems like this was expected behavior some time ago. A pic -> 1000 words.

I also tried disabling all add-ons and nothing changed.

<blockquote>
You would normally see the context menu with Hide Toolbars and Exit Full Screen mode if you right-click a toolbar in full screen mode.
Do you have any code in Stylish that could be causing issues like that?

Nope, zero styles in Stylish currently, this is a new install. As well I've tried going full-screen with all addons disabled and I get the exact same result.
I'm on OS X 10.10.2, FF 35.0.1

The "Always show tab bar" setting keeps unchecking itself.

I'm using Firefox 4 on multiple machines all running windows 7 and synchronized with built in Sync and one instance on Android. I've noticed sometimes when closing all but the last tab that no tabs show in the tab bar (which is on top, I like that!). I go into "options" - "tabs" and see that "always show tab bar" is unchecked. I check it and get back to daily routines, only few days later the same thing happens again. By the way, I've noticed the same on my girlfriend's computer, also running windows 7, but not synchronized to any other computers. It's not a disaster, just annoying when it happens- as if someone sneaked in and changed my settings. Please help. Thanks.

First check to make sure that an add-on is not interfering with behavior, to do that follow the procedure in the [[troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article.
If it is not caused by an add-on, as a test you can create a new profile. Firefox stores user data and in profiles, creating a new profile will confirm if there is a problem with your current profile. See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows Creating a new Firefox profile on Windows]. If the new profile works, you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transfer data and settings to the new profile]. It is best not to copy he preferences file (prefs.js) to the new profile as a setting stored in it may be causing the problem.

PVII Tab Bar Magic Issue in DWCS3 Mac

I posted this on the PVII but no one has answered it so far
and I am stuck with a major client site update until I get an
answer...
When I open up a .DWT file it shows the Tab Bar Magic menu as
bullets while I am in design view. When I preview it in the Safari
browser it shows correctly.
Is there something wrong with my Dreamweaver or is it the TBM
plugin doing this?
I also noticed in other PVII plugins the same behavior. Such
as the Tab Panel Magic.
Do I need to reset my Dreamweaver or delete the refs or
something?
Please advise, thanks.

Mavericks is a 5.3 GB file, it takes awhile to download based on the speed of your internet account.

Cannot disable "always show tab bar" in FF 28.0?

FF 19 had an option to deselect "always show tab bar" so that the tab bar is shown only when 2 or more tabs are open.
FF 28 seems to always show the tab bar. I don't see any way to disable that (unless 2 or more tabs are open).
How can I coerce FF 28 to not show tab bar unless 2 or more tabs are open?

waka wrote: "In Firefox 23 and up, 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 "Hide tab bar with one tab", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site".
That definitely "helps" insofar as you addressed my question dispositively.
However, I do not agree with the decision. How does removing one option substantially "simplify" things? How does forcing me to install an add-on "simplify" things for me, the customer?
FYI, I few add-ons as potential risks and a definite maintenance headache. A GUI add-on is probably more susceptible to compatibility issues.
If you want to "simplify" the GUI by removing one option from a menu (that isn't very "busy" in the first place; klunk!), at least provide an about:config option to control this behavior.
As for "facilitating future improvements", that is not my concern, a customer. Everything is SMOP.
I was in product development and maintenance for 35 years, and we always put the customer first. One of our cardinal rules was: do not remove a feature unless it is a security risk; and even then, we might leave an option to re-enable the feature "at your own risk".
Oh well, I'm probably p.i.s.s.ing into the wind. But thanks again for an accurate response.
