When I type in the address of a previous tab manually, it brings me back to the other tab.

I went to a website which I need to look more than one thing up on, so I pressed ctrl+t to open a new tab, and started typing in the address. It filled it in for me from my history, I clicked it (to be as specific as possible, I clicked on the website it suggested me with in the drop-down menu from my history, like it does when you start typing in an address/keyword), and it just brought me back to the previous tab instead of loading the website in the new one I opened.
I looked through my settings--both Tab-Mix Plus settings and Firefox settings--to see what could be causing this, if it was something I could enable/disable, but I didn't see anything. This is a really annoying feature and I would like to disable it. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's a really irritating thing to me... I guess I'm slightly obsessive-compulsive that way.
I know there are ways of getting around it, but, as I said, I find it really irritating and I'm stubborn. If there's a way to disable it I would really like to know.

I am not sure if the switch tab feature can be turned off. I did initially find it a minor irritation, but it does have the advantage if tabs scroll off screen that you are made aware of existing matching tabs, so I have come to see it as an improvement.
I have just tried with firefox4 to make sure and I am able to easily open multiple same tabs by for instance using '''Firefoxbutton -> history'''
There is along discussion thread in [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1977593&start=45 Mozilazine] about this feature and how it interacts with auto-fill.
You can of course use the (windows) '''right click option''' from links on a webpage to open other related pages in a new tab.
Also from the search bar or the location bar '''Alt + Enter''' will open that address in a new tab. And''' Control and drag''' with mouse on the tab will duplicate it.

  • When I type my email address in the "To:" field, a random name comes up next to it as "Holidays in United States". This just started happening out of the blue and I have no idea why. Does anyone else have any idea?

    Just to recap, this is a collection of ports I have collected over time for people who needed this information when setting up the HP ePrint app so that they could view their email from within the app.  I am certain other applications also need this information.  Although lengthy, I could not find a more comprehensive place to retrieve this information.  Feel free to post additional information, faulty information, or other related topics below as this is simply a collection of data and it would be practically impossible to test all of them. Thank you!

  • Can I stop the automatic underline when I type an email address in Pages?

    Can I remove the automatic underline when I type an email address? I know I can manually remove it, but am wondering if I can just stop it from happening?
    Thank

    I think you are probably referring to the email address being automatically converted to an active hyperlink. You can remove this by opening the Inspector, clicking the hyperlink icon (second from the right) and, in the Hyperlink tab, after selecting (highlighting) the address, uncheck the box next to
    "Enable as a hyperlink." Or, to disable all hyperlinks, click the box at the bottom of that Inspector window next to "Make all hyperlinks inactive."
    To avoid this in all documents, open Pages Preferences and, in the Auto-Correction Preferences, uncheck "Automatically detect email and web addresses."

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • HT201209 I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: you must insert your digital copy dvd in the computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is

    I bought a movie with the digital copy and it gives me option to redeem it with iTunes, but when I type in the redeem code it shows a message saying: " you must insert your digital copy dvd in this computer in order to redeem this code" . The dvd is in. WTH? This is especially with FOX movies, I never have trouble with Universal Picture movies.

    Thanks for your reply, but you might have misunderstood it a bit. I'm NOT trying to buy a movie. ****, I'm not even in the actual Apple Store, when this happens I'm in the library not the Store part of iTunes.
    To clarify - I have purchased a physical copy of a movie which came with another physical copy which contains the digital copy. The digital copy is on the DVD, all I need is just to transfer this file to my iPod Touch, for example, I'm not trying to download it from the store or repurchase it and it's not any gift code that I've received, the digital copy is on the disc. This is the first time ever that I've purchased something on a disc and I'm not allowed to access it because the disc hasn't been purchased within my country.
    So again - I'm not attempting any purchase or download any purchased digital copy - it's on a DVD I own physically so... why is even the region of my Store relevant, the code I enter is (as I assume) just supposed to check if it's a legal genuine copy (which it is, as I've said - there are 6 discs in the pack: 3 movies on 3 Blu-rays and 3 DVD containing these digital copies of them). If I own it, I think that's proof enough that I have the right to use it. I just don't get it. I fully agree with you and understand your point if there was any purchase going on here, but it's not, it's just - I put a disc into my computer and I can't access it

  • My mac book air is stuck on the log in page. When I type in the correct password, nothing happens. How can I get into my laptop??

    I Have the latest iOS installment I believe. I don't know what is causing the problem as it was working perfectly last night! When I type in an incorrect password, the laptop recognizes that it is incorrect and denies me access. But when I type in the correct password nothing happens. I've turned the computer on and off and tried connecting to power also.

    Really?

  • In my wife's iPad she cannot send a text message to an Android user, but I can on mine.  Both use the same 8.1 iOS.  When she types in the addressee name it comes up in red and will not allow "send."

    How do you send a text message to an Android user via Messages?  My wife and I both have iPads running 8.1 iOS.  When she types in the addressee name it appears in red (not in mine).  Then she is not allowed to send.

    There are a lot of posts in the forums today with people having problems with iMessage.   There was also a published outage yesterday, so it's possible there are still some issues that may be impacting you both.
    I would just wait it out - I'm sure it will be sorted out soon.

  • Has anyone had a problem with Illustrator lagging behind one letter when you're typing? For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

    For example, when I type "apple," the "a" doesn't appear until I type the "p." I only have one window open, and I restarted, but it's still acting strangely.

    Hi Swampxiix,
    How many programs do you have open while you're working in Illustrator? Do you have a lot of layers or art boards?
    It could be that your computer was being slowed by too many programs, or a complex design file. The age of your computer could also be a culprit.
