Turn off always on tabs

Where can I lodge a complaint with the changes that have been made with the most recent firefox update? The two problems I have are tabs always appearing even when there is just one tab open. The second is the url search bar and the side search bar being no longer being able to search different engines. Firefox is about customization and choice. It isn't about forcing all users to abide by the lowest common denominator of users. I understand that these two changes were purposefully implemented but it is idiotic to force these changes on everyone. At the very least make the changes the default options, but give people the option. I know programs love to make themselves the default search, but I am smart enough to deselect them as the default. Please don't punish me with unwanted changes to firefox because other people don't know how to customize a browser. The customization is what I love about firefox. Please give us users back the ability to customize. I know this isn't probably the correct place to lodge these complaints, but I didn't know where else to post. All I want is to turn off always on tabs, and to be able to search google in one bar and wikipedia in the other. Is that too much to ask?

Thank you. This add on worked perfectly. Also, if anyone is interested I found a good add on that hides the tabs when you only have one page open.

Professional 7: How to turn off display of tab order numbers in a form?

When I open a PDF which has form fields, it displays each form field's tab order number. They appear as little boxed numbers in the upper left-hand side of each form field. Can anyone let me know how to turn off the display of these tab order numbers?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Have they posted the original form somewhere? I just see a couple of image files that the OP posted.

How to Turn Off Undo Closed Tab

As the title says, I am finding this feature to be very annoying and I would like to be able to disable this. It was never present in previous versions so I am hoping somewhere is just as annoyed with this new feature as I am. Does anyone know anyway to turn it off?

HI,
Are you referring to right or control clicking a tab... the menu dialog there? If not, please clarify.
Thanks...

How can I turn off the new "tabs on top" layout of the new Firefox?

Dear Mozilla,
Te be honest I was very comfortable with the old Firefox layout and really don't like the new 'Tabs on Top' layout. It's one of the main reasons I hate Chrome.
Is there any way I can turn it off? I haven't been able to find it.
If not, can you direct me to a download page for the previous version of Firefox.
Thanks and bets regards,
Chris

I can't help but agree with you, Chris. Computer interfaces are usually analogues for the physical world and it seems that most of the just-newly-adult population has forgotten what GUI cues are meant to be - your mention of tabs' appearing on top is a case in point.
Has the just-newly-adult population forgotten manila folders? You know - those light-cardboard folders that you put pad paper and documents inside; ones that you slip into a filing cabinet, long-edge down, with TABS showing along the now top edge, so that you can read what they contain. Indeed, have you looked, people, Mozillians, at the symbol universally used for File/Windows Explorer? A manila folder!
The edges of manila folders are the tabs that ....wait for it, signify what they contain or represent. Simple. Similarly the just-newly-adult population may have forgotten tabbed diaries. 'Calendar books' with tabs down the opening side that let you select a page somewhere in the diary with information in it described by words or symbols on its tab. Simple!
Tabs should be attached, indeed, be part of, with NO separation from, the pages to which they belong, IMVHO.
Simplify the interface, Mozilla, designed according to good real-world principles.

Can't turn off the single tab in 23

There's a single tab and a plus sign next to it in 23. I thought we had the ability to turn that off.
While I'm here, I'll also say that for a while now it's been weird, opening a new window flashes open for a moment and then flips back to my original window. It makes multi window browsing difficult, sometimes.
Before you ask, no, I never use tabs. I detest tabs.

Well, it looks like I need to find another browser. Apparently future changes for Firefox are not being done in the best interest of the users, but in the best interest of the developers.
Had I wanted to support that attitude, I would have stayed with Internet Exploder.
Damn shame. It was a really nice product.

How to turn off Verizon browser tabs when launching Firefox???

How do I turn off tab groups. See details below.

Ok, I don't like the bloody Tab Group feature. I have tabs across the top and now I can't click on a tab to go to that Web Page. I have to go to the right on the down arrow. I need to turn off this bloddy Tab grouping. I am about ready to delete FireFox for this reason and go to Chrome or Opera or stay with Safari for this reason. Any help appreciated. Seems like Mozilla took 1 step forward and 2 steps back with this feature. Good idea in principle but created other problems.See in question above. Running an iMac dual core.

I'm with you permazorch...
I like them. I want them to stay attached and open all of them when I open FF.
I just wish there was a way to lock them at a particular point.
Occasionally, I mistakenly close a batch of tabs from my second screen... when I close my primary screen, it forgets the second screen tabs, and I have to reopen and regroup the tabs I closed by mistake when I re-open FF...
I love tabs and wish there was a way to keep them in spite of the fact that I might occasionally close them in the wrong sequence by mistake from time to time ...
Any recommendations for locking the tab groups once configured?
Until that time ... Earl J.

How do I turn off SSID?

How do I turn off SSID please?

Not necessarily - I'm a Fon person, but still have the option to turn off SSID broadcast on my BT Homehub
Personally, I wouldn't bother though. It can make it more difficult than necessary for legitimate devices to connect, while providing no real security improvement.
Think you are correct its the WIFI that can not be turned off when subscribed to Fon
That's not necessarily the case either.
agreed also whilst it may be handy to stop others seeing your ssid it stops you as well
Actually, it doesn't stop anybody !
Could you be more specific please asto how for both points
WRT the first point, I think you're talking about (certain versions of) a particular router. I use a HH1, locked at a firmware version that allows me to control the hardware, rather than vice-versa. This allows me full control of all aspects of its wireless functionality, without opening it up to other Fon/Openzone users...should I want that.
as I cant turn off wifi the tab is greyed out when I subscribe to FON?
If that bothered me, I'd use a different router.
There's no requirement to use a HH...It's being "free" is no reason, in my book, to use hardware that doesn't do what I want - especially given the low cost of a perfectly decent consumer grade router.
And whilst I can see the transmission I cant see the SSID ? when not sent
You're not using the right tools
The SSID is broadcast in the clear whenever a device attempts to connect to it, and there's lots of software out there that'll capture it. If a device is already connected, there are tools that'll fake a deauthenticate frame - which rather conveniently causes the device to reauthenticate and reveal the SSID. If nothing's currently connected, it's just a matter of waiting
Hiding the SSID provides only "security through obscurity". Far better to properly secure the WLAN, and enjoy the convenience of broadcasting the SSID.

T420s drains battery when turned off

Hi,
I am changing my T400s to T420s and during setup of a new machine I got some strange sindrom. T420s uses battery when it is turned off. To check yesterday afternoon I put on post-it note that it had 86% battery and this morning when I turned it on it was on 67% battery.
I turned off always on USB when power off.
Any ideas what is draining battery?

1. automatic updating or backup
2. other scheduled tasks
3. wake on lan
4. fingerprint reader

How do I turn off the tab bar in FF 24 when only one window is open?

I have just updated to FF 24.0 from FF 20 with Tab Mix Plus already installed. (OSX 10.6.8) From the Firefox Preferences menu, Tabs box, I have set the "Hide the tab bar:" option to "When I have only one tab." I have also gone to the Tab Mix Plus option box and set the drop down to the same value. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the desired effect. Firefox opens to my home page with a tab at the bottom. (I prefer the tabs at the bottom and that setting still works.) With only one page open, that tab is completely unnecessary, takes up space, and just plain bugs me.
Now, here's what I have found. Once I've started Firefox, if I go to the Tab Mix Plus options box and select "Hide the tab bar: Always" and then set the option back to "When I have only one tab" I can enjoy one page without the tab bar, that is, until I've opened several tabs and then closed all but one. Then I see the tab bar stubbornly remain. An incompatibility between FF and Tab Mix Plus, perhaps. Is FF 24 not letting Tab Mix see the number of open tabs? Dunno. But I can't seem to solve it.

Are you saying that the problem lies not with Firefox but with Tab Mix Plus? Tab Mix worked up through FF 20 to my knowlege. And I see from other questions that the persistant tab bar was an issue with FF 23 as well.
Please note, that setting aside the extension issue, the Firefox preference Tab option should turn off the tab option when there is only one window open without any help from addons or extensions. I have disabled Tab Mix Plus, and set the FF option correctly, but the problem remains. As I see it, FF is not working as this user expects it to and is (slightly) broken.

I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0, It is showing menu bar with the windows border. When i turn off menu bar, the strip which should be present above the tabs goes missing.

I have recently downloaded FF 4.0 and using a lot of add-ons. I am not able to view the default view of FF 4.0 with no menu bar. Even after turning off the menu bar from customization, I am able to see only the tabs and FF button, but not the strip over the tabs.

When you hide the menu bar to display the Firefox button, the titlebar (strip above the tabs) is only displayed if the Firefox window is not maximized. If you always want the Window titlebar, you can use the Firefox 4 UI Fixer extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-4-ui-fixer

Pse 8 for mac: turn off tabs in workspace?

I am finding the tabs across the top of the workspace get in the way when i am using tools and modifying them etc, mousing over the tab to get to the modify options, activates the tab label pop up, which blocks my use of the modifyers -- hope that makes sense)
I want to turn off the tab option -- no inactive, no active tabs above the workspace square -- just have the photos in the project bin is enough for me. I can't figure out HOW to turn this option off. Please help !
eljoh

Thank you for quick response. When i open a few photos in PSE 8, thumbnails go in the project bin along the bottom (that's good), the last photo opened opens in the in the work window (that's good), and at the top, above the workspace that holds the photo to work on (active photo), and below the options for adjusting tools and then the menus about that, are TABS with the file names of each photo opened, along the top of the work area. I want to shut off that option (i know i turned it on to try it, now want it off) as each time i ajust a brush size or opacity etc my mouse goes over a TAB which then leads to the file name "popping up" and blocking my access to the ajustments i want.
does that help you understand? i hope so !!

My iPhone 4S is hanging always after I charged it. (I normally drain the battery before I re-charged it.) Done turning off/on, resetting and all.

I have been using my iPhone 4S for 4 months already. At first it was working perfectly fine (though I have some complaints with the battery that drains so fast) until the phone is hanging up now. I noticed that after I fully charged the phone it hangs up. It's really acting so badly. When I make a call the other party is able to hear the ring from their end, while I can't even confirm that the call went thru. When you place the phone to your ear the phone goes black and when you bring it out you would be able to see the screen but now it's not doing like that anymore. If I end the call it doesn't say 'call ended' it will always appear as 'call ending' and I can't clear the screen I still need to turn it off then on for me to be able to clear the screen. I can't confirm if my sms was sent successfully because it would appear as if sending the message is still in process, but the recipient is able to receive it already then again I would need to turn off/on and I'll get an error: message sending failure. I don't have music or videos on the phone, it's just plainly simple, though I have a very few free apps that I seldom use. I seldom use the phone as well for browsing. When you call my mobile, callers are able to hear that it's ringing but there's nothing displayed on my screen. I don't think that is a carrier issue, because other subscribers doesn't have any complaint with the network. Sometimes for me to be able to use my phone again, I would ask somebody to call my number many times until the incoming call would register on the phone. Right now it's not doing that way anymore. I have done, resetting, restoring, turning off/on but to no avail. Please help.

Being impatient and SCREAMING at fellow users because no one has responded in 20 minutes is not only a bad way to get help, it is just plain dumb.
Do yourself a favor.. the next time you think about typing in all CAPS, slap yourself.
Then learn to use search, there are hundreds if not thousands of posts on battery issues.
If those do not help, take the device to Apple for evaluation, no product or company is perfect, it may simply be that your battery is defective.
