Terminal window resizes when opening new tab with cmd-'t'

The simplest way to re-create this issue is as follows:
-open new Terminal window (def 80x24)
-resize the Terminal window by dragging the lower right corner (125x32)
-cmd-'t'
-resize the Terminal window (80x24)
-cmd-'t'
After the final command the Terminal window resizes itself back to 125x32.
This only appears to increase the size of the Terminal window; this does not occur when shrinking it. I'd really like to be able to disable this resizing "feature".
Thank you in advance.

Youtube window minimizes when opening new tab

Hi,
So.. I have a problem
I'm using Macbook Pro Retina 15 (early 2013) with Yosemite and Safari. When I'm watching Youtube videos, and YT is the only tab open i can maximize the window so it's really big (not full screen), but when I open new tab, and get back to the YT, window gets smaller (cant change it via YT navigation). Closing every other tab except YT helps, and everything goes back to normal, big window again. Any thoughts ?
Thanks

Mac user OS 10.6.8 Firefox 6.0.2. Click the Firefox icon in dock, program does not open new window. Type cmd+N to open new window, cmd+T to open new tab or cmd+L to enter URL, nothing happens. What causes this, and what can be done?

It's strange. The problem apparently resolved itself after I ran TechTool on it. When I clicked on Firefox last night, I had no problem opening a window. Thanks for your help. (As to your previous post, the focus was on Firefox and neither the speed keys nor the menu bar would open a window or tab of allow me to enter a URL to open a window. Strange!)

Problem creating playlists library window closes when opening new playlist

library window closes when opening new playlist impossible to drag and drop songs from lib to new playlist

Hi
You don't need to open a playlist to drag and drop from your library. Just open the library and drag the selected item or items to the NAME of the chosen playlist (in blue bars on the lower left) and just drop it there. When you hold the items over the playlist name, it will show you a little green dot with a plus sign in it and the number or items being dropped. Then when you are done dragging and dropping you can open the playlist and see that the items were added. Hope this makes sense.
Good luck!

How to stop newtab-page flickering/refreshing when opening new tabs by ctrl-clicking thumbnails?

Often when opening new tabs from thumbnails in newtab-page (about:newtab) the whole newtab-page refreshes itself or otherwise flickers. This sometimes causes that some new tabs are not opened when ctrl-clicking multiple thumbnails in a row. Does the newtab-page recalculate after every click what thumbnails it should show and this could cause the flickering effect? (Although I don't see changes in thumbnail order.)

Hi FFanatic,
Please update to version 32 to see if this is still happening. Go to About Firefox and click the update button.

When opening new tabs they are blank;how can i make them open to my homepage?

When you open a new tab it is blank. Is there any way to make a new tab open to my homepage?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== always

Ctrl+Home button will open a new tab with your home page. If you have multiple home pages, I believe it will open only the first one shown in Tools > Options > General > Home Page.
See:
http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window+-+General+panel
Install one of these:

When opening new tab, don't select URL bar

I changed the browser.newtab.URL entry in about:config from about:newtab to http://www.google.com/ncr. My default action for opening a new tab was "ctrl-t", followed by "alt-home" (and my homepage is http://www.google.com/ncr), so I thought less keypresses is better :)
Now, when I open a new tab, it does load Google, however, it still highlights/selects the URL bar (I believe this to be default behiour). This hinders my workflow, as I still have to click on the google search bar :(
When I go to my home page (click "Home" button or press "alt-home") it doesn't highlight the URL bar, but allows me to instantly type my query into the Google search bar. This gives me hope that what I want is possible.
Could someone tell me that it is indeed possible?
Ps. I am deliberately using firefox 22.0 and upgrading is not an option for me, even if this was the solution. Any other solution would be highly appreciated.

Instead of using the ''browser.newtab.url'' preference, configure what opens in a new tab with the Custom New Tab add-on.

Open new tab with home page

when i click on a new tab it want it to go to my home page not "new tab". Under tabs in options there is no option to set a new tab to open my home page.

Open a new tab with the home page that you have set in Options > General:
*CTRL+left-click the "Home" icon
An Add-on that will open your selected page (set in the Add-ons options, see below) when clicking the New Tab ("+") icon:
*'''''New TabURL''''': http://sogame.awardspace.com/newtaburl/
*after installing, set the options for '''''New TabURL''''': Add-ons > Extensions, click the Add-on name, click Options

When opening new tab, how to make me able to type in the adress bar directly without clicking on it? -- (about:config reset and add-on doesn't work)

Hi all,
Need a help relating New Tab on Mozilla.
I want to be able to directly type in the address bar everytime I open a new tab in Mozilla, without clicking anything. To be clearer, it means that everytime I open the new tab, the blinking cursor is already on the address bar.
What's happening right now is everytime I open new tab, the cursor is not placed anywhere--not on the search bar on the page, not on the address bar. I should put the cursor somewhere to do something.
I tried using the about:config reset (1) and installing custom new tab (2), but both do not work.
When I tried the about:config reset the Reset button is not highlighted (I assume it means it's default already), and the Custom New Tab doesn't yield in different result.
What confuse me is 2 days ago my Mozilla works just fine. Everytime I opened a new tab, the blinking cursor was on the address bar and I was able to type directly.
Thank you and appreciate the help!!
Note:
(1) about:config reset:
- Type about:config into the address bar and press Enter.
- To bypass the warning, press the big button labeled "I'll be careful, I promise!".
- In the search box, paste browser.newtab.url
- In the search results, right-click browser.newtab.url and choose Reset.
(2) Custom Add On reset:
- Install Custom New Tab. = https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/custom-new-tab/
- Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
- Next to Custom New Tab, click the Options button.
- Set whatever page you want to open in each new tab (about:newtab is the default; about:home is the default home page), and make sure "Place focus in URL bar" is not checked.

''philipp [[#answer-669209|said]]''
<blockquote>
ok, as a follow up i'd recommend disabling half of the addons & restarting the browser - if the problem continues disable the other half & continue until you've narrowed it down to the culprit...
</blockquote>
Hi Philipp,
I read the link you copied on the first post and also tried your recommendation above. None seem to work. Even if I disable all add-ons, the problem still persists.
One other info, this problem seem to appear after I installed several program yesterday. These programs apparently installed other programs that set my homepage and main search engine to a particular website. But I installed all of these programs already. Would that be a cause of the problem?
Thanks.

FF7 will not open new tab with new window. overwrites same tab. If I manually open a new tab, then the new window appears there. In previous versions, the new window would automatically open a new tab. This tab 'overwriting' ia very annoying.

You won't let me! The 'red' prompt says I have use more than 255 characters.

By accident, after nearly an hour of playing with FF7, I discovered that by pushing down (like a button) on the scroll wheel or holding down CTRL key will open a new tab to the right of existing tabs when selecting a bookmarked site or link within a webpage.

Firefox 9 opens new window when opening new tab on Windows 7

When I load FF 9, then click on the + to open a new tab, it does so, but in the quickstart bar in Windows 7, it shows as another window of FF, although the new tab "seems" to be in the original instance of FF. Effectively, what I mean is, if I have 4 tabs open, it shows 4 Firefox windows in the taskbar.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks and regards,
Clive

I'm assuming you are referring to Tab Previews in the Win7 Taskbar.
This can be turned of rather easily.
*Open a New Tab
**Type about:config in the address bar
When the page loads click "I'll be careful, I Promise"
In the "Filter" bar at the top of the page type
*browser.taskbar.previews.enable
**Double click it to set the Value to FALSE
If you simply type "Taskbar" in the filter, this will give you ever option that pertains to the windows 7 taskbar.

When opening new tab, a new window opens instead; 2nd window does allow you to open new tab

boot up firefox, click to open a new tab, a new window opens up instead; in the original window, if you keep clicking to open a new tab it opens it in the 2nd window.

I'm having this problem, but I don't have the textarea cache add-on, nore the MozBar 2.3.
Now that I think about, I did just update an add-on (imtranslator), maybe that's what causing this to happen for me..
edit: yep, disabling it fixed the problem for me.

My firefox won't open new tabs with the button or when I press CTRL+t, what is the problem?

I can't open any new tabs what so ever. I tried uninstalling and re-installing, and there was no change.

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
