The 'Always show Tab bar option' is not working on 3.6.8

One window open: No tab.

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Always show tab bar - Safari 3 - Leopard

    Hey. I recently lost all of my Home Folder's files, and now Safari 3 in Leopard does not allow me to always show the tab bar. I look in preferences, and the option is not there.
    How do I enable to always show the tab bar?

    Hi
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Go to the View Menu>Show Tab Bar or Shift/Command/T keys to show or hide. Tabs need to be enabled in your Safari Preferences>Tabs.
    As you have a new Safari Preference file, besides resetting the preferences in the preference panel, you'll need to reset any custom options, such as spelling in the Edit Menu or the various options in the View Menu. Also, additional icons can be added via View>Customize Toolbar via Drag/Drop on the ToolBar.

  • When I use Tab Groups, can I have some tabs that are always open together with a group, and just switching the groups that are besides the "always showing" tabs?

    I like to have some tabs always open, like for example the facebook page, while others I need only occasionally, like Ebay / Work / Fun (which I could put into Tab Groups). So I was wondering if it is possible to have the following configuration:
    Always open Tabs (e.g. Facebook, Myspace) and then next to that ONE of the Tab Groups (e.g. Group Ebay Stuff and Group Work Stuff and Group Fun Stuff)
    or alternatively have TWO Tab Groups open at the same time, like Group A and Group B, and then switch to Group A and Group C, then Group A and Group D, then Group A and Gourp B again.

    Hmm, well you can right click a tab you want always open and click "Pin as App Tab". I personally don't have much experience with Tab Groups, I'm just learning how to use them.
    Hope this helps!

  • Nothing happens when I press File/New Tab. Under Tools/Options/Tabs I have checked 'open windows in a new tab instead' and 'always show tab bar.' Pressing File/New Window does open a new window. How can I get new tabs to open? That's how I like to work.

    I don't have anymore details to add!

    Leliforever, cheek you list of installed add-ons, the Ask toolbar can be installed without the users knowledge.

  • DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the AS400 DB

    1. The DB Adaptor import table option does not work with the IBM i-series(AS/400) tables(Both in ESB and BPEL).
    2. Also I was not able to import tables from multiple databases into
    the same BPEL project.

    Both of these issues work in preview version. My earlier posting was based on beta version testing.

  • 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

  • Missing VERTICAL SCROLL-BAR only in the TV Shows tab.

    *I keep losing my vertical scroll-bar while looking at Television shows.* I believe this might be related to the Windows Vista 64-Bit platform.
    What-ever it is, this problem has been occurring since iTunes version 9.x for sure. I am *currently on iTunes version 10.0.0.68* with the same annoying "find the vertical scroll-bar" problem. I have reported my concerns to Apple, but their has never been a reply and the problem has +migrated beyond iTunes 9.x now.+
    The following are all examples of how or when...
    1. enter the "TV Shows" tab for the first time since I started iTunes.
    ( as in today, last hour, or just xx minutes ago. )
    ( of course just closing iTunes and restarting iTunes )
    ( has not constant result. )
    2. just got done watching a television episode in a separate window.
    3. just got done watching a television episode in the same or list window.
    4. switched from one view style to another view style.
    5. enter the "TV Shows" tab from another tab such as "Music" or "Podcasts".
    The only way to get the scroll-bar back is to switch to another tab and then switch back to "TV Shows". This sometimes takes 5 to 6 switches before the scroll-bar returns. And of course, it might disappear again if any of the above 1-5 examples occur.
    I do have a couple of screenshots for anyone to view, not sure how to post it as part of this post. If you desire, request the screenshots and I will e-mail them to you for your reference.

    I also have this issue with the scroll bar in Mail since upgrading from Leopard to Snow Leopard. I Google it... and that is what brought me here, so hopefully someone knows what is going on as I was kind of hoping that 10.6.1 would have fixed this.

    I found this plugin which solved pretty much all of my mail font rendering problems.  It is designed for Lion, so don't know whether it will work but thought I would offer it up.

  • Temporarily show tab bar upon switching tabs with the keyboard in fullscreen mode

    I use Firefox in fullscreen mode and switch tabs with Ctrl + PgUp/PgDn. I need to peek at the tab bar when I switch tabs, to avoid searching for the desired tab with multiple shortcut presses.
    Is there a way to temporarily show the tab bar when I switch tabs with the keyboard shortcut? I want the tab bar to hide again after, say, 2 seconds of no tab switching.

    You can try to set the focus to the location bar with Ctrl+L before switching the tabs to make the toolbar and tab bar appear.
