Where is my first tab?

Upon opening Firefox, there is only one "+" tab. When additional tabs are open, they display the full webpage title and can be switched between by clicking on the tab/title. The original page is no where in sight. When I close all the "viewable" tabs, I end up with the original tab. I can only switch to the original tab when multiple tabs are open by clicking on the menu to the far right (also containing "tab groups"). I have not set any app tabs. Also, when I open a second window, the problem does not occur in that window, but if I close all windows, and re-open a new one, the problem is still there. (I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8, and just updated to Firefox 6, which is when I first ran into the issue)

When there are several tabs open, why does the search always take place on the 2nd tab (the first tab seems never to change from the home page) despite my selecting a different tab in which to do a google search?

I have Mozilla Firefox 10.0. When I open it, it correctly opens on the homepage in the first tab. Once I have another, or several, tabs open, no matter which tab is active, any google search I do immediately takes place in tab No 2. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I go to e.g. tab 4 to do a search (because I wish to compare with the webpage open in tab 2), yet it always now does the search in tab 2. This is very irritating. There must be some setting that has gone pear-shaped, but where/which? Any suggestions? Thanks.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4.0+ SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
'''''If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

Accordion defaultPanel first tab value

I have an application which has an accordion panel and
several detailregions.
- the accordian panel is dynamically generated in spry with
xml (both the tabs and the content)
- the detailregions are based on what the current selected
tab is in the accordion panel
I needed to be able to access these tabs via a URL query
string - and have the correct panel / detailregion display based on
the variable passed in the URL.
I have this working correctly.
The problem though, is that the tabs onClick events do not
number correctly when using the defaultPanel attribute.
For example,
var acc = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("test",{defaultPanel:
functionThatGeneratesDefaultPanel});
works correctly for setting the panel which needs to be
displayed, but then if you click on the tabs to navigate to a
different panel, tab one ALWAYS defaults to whatever the
defaultPanel value was instead of being 0. Obviously this disables
the accordion panel from working correctly.
Any suggestions on how I can get around this?
Your assistance is appreciated!

Thanks for the reply Chris. I have somewhat narrowed down the
problem, but still haven't solved it (had to move on and finish the
rest of the website:)
As I mentioned previously, I am creating these accordion
panels dynamically through xml. Inside one of the panels, there is
a secondary navigation system which is fed by xml as well. The
problem seems to be caused by having two datasets in the same
accordion panel. Here is the code:
var observer = { onPostUpdate: function(notifier, data) { var
acc = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("nav",{defaultPanel:
requestedPanel}); dsNavItems.setCurrentRow(requestedPanel);
displayCoupons(); } };
Spry.Data.Region.addObserver("nav", observer);
and the accordion:
<div id="nav" class="Accordion" spry:region="dsNavItems
dsNavSubs">
<div class="AccordionPanel" spry:repeat="dsNavItems">
<div class="AccordionPanelTab" spry:hover="rowHover"
spry:select="rowSelected"
onclick="clicker({dsNavItems::ds_RowID});">
<h3 spry:if="({ds_RowNumber}) != 2"
onClick="dsNavItems.setCurrentRow('{dsNavItems::ds_RowID}');hideLayer('comingSoon');hideL ayer('coupons');hideLayer('couponLarge');hideLayer('imageHolderScreen');hideLayer('submenu Content');hideLayer('submenu1');showLayer('featureGraphic');showLayer('ticker');showLayer( 'newsBar');"
spry:content="{dsNavItems::name}"></h3>

<h3 spry:if="({ds_RowNumber}) == 2"
onClick="dsNavItems.setCurrentRow('{dsNavItems::ds_RowID}');hideLayer('comingSoon');hideL ayer('imageHolderScreen');hideLayer('submenuContent');hideLayer('submenu1');hideLayer('fea tureGraphic');hideLayer('ticker');hideLayer('newsBar');showLayer('coupons');showLayer('cou ponLarge');"
spry:content="{dsNavItems::name}"></h3>
</div>
<div class="AccordionPanelContent">
<div spry:state="loading"><img
src="images/ajax-loader.gif"/></div>
<div spry:state="error"><span spry:content="The
website is currently down. Please try again in a few
minutes."></span></div>

<div spry:if="({ds_RowNumber}) == 0"
spry:state="ready">
<div class="department" spry:repeat="dsNavSubs"
onClick="{dsNavSubs::onClick}; goToURL('{dsNavSubs::url}')"
spry:hover="rowHover" spry:select="rowSelected"
spry:content="{dsNavSubs::name}"></div>
</div>

<div spry:if="({ds_RowNumber}) != 0"
spry:state="ready">
<span
spry:content="{dsNavItems::content}"></span>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
This problem can be seen at
http://www.sportzoutdoor.com/index.php?panel=2
This will default to opening the page with the second tab
appearing. Trying clicking on the first tab and you will see that
it tries to refresh, but comes up as the 2nd tab. When running an
echo with this, on the rownumber, it returns as 2 for both the
selected tab and for the first tab. For some reason, it is
assigning 2 to this tab when it generates it.
The problem only occurs when it is selecting a specific panel
from the url query. Otherwise at
http://www.sportzoutdoor.com/index.php
it works fine. Also, this is the page where you can view the
secondary nav system built into the first panel.
Also, in another example - this one without a secondary nav
system, but still with the url query, works fine:

Use different "fx-border-image-source" for first tab and remaining tabs

Hi,
I'm using something like this
.tab {
-fx-padding: 0px 5px -2px 5px;
-fx-background-insets: 0 -20 0 0;
-fx-background-color: transparent;
-fx-text-fill: #c4d8de;
-fx-border-image-source: url("images/tab5.png");
-fx-border-image-slice: 20 20 20 20 fill;
-fx-border-image-width: 20 20 20 20;
-fx-border-image-repeat: stretch;
-fx-font-size: 22px;
.tab:selected {
-fx-border-image-source: url("images/tab-selected5.png");
-fx-text-fill: #333333;
     -fx-background-color: red;*/
to customize the tab appearance of a TabPane.
That worked well. But I need to use a different set of images for just the first tab. Does anyone know a way to accomplish that?
Thanks.

How can I "fix up" the first tab of tab panes that are created after I "fixed up" the first tab of the initial tab pane?
My app allows user to create new tab panes at any moment during program execution.Not easy to answer this one.
The best answer would be to use structural pseudoclasses, but (as David points out), they are not yet implemented.
The trick here is how to identify the first tab of each tab pane so that it can be styled separately from the other panes.
Doing the styling without a dynamic lookup is preferrable to using a dynamic lookup (i.e. when the first tab is created give it a specific style, e.g. tab0).
This is how the charts work, where they set style classes based on series of data, e.g. series0, series1 - this allows you to independently style each series of data.
However the chart stuff has all of that built into the implementation, whereas the tabs don't. To achieve that you would likely need to go into the TabSkin code (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/openjfx/) find out where and how it generates the Tab nodes and write a custom tab skin or extension of the existing one which assigns a numeric style class to each new tab in a pane (e.g tab0, tab1, etc). In other words, not particularly easy if you are unfamilar with the tab skin implementation. You could log a javafx jira feature request to have those style classes set on tabs - file it here => http://javafx-jira.kenai.com.
In the meantime a simple alternative is to use the dynamic lookup method in my previous post and a hack such that whenever you add a new tab pane to the scene you do something like the following:
new Timeline(
new KeyFrame(
    Duration.millis(50),
    new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
      @Override public void handle(ActionEvent arg0) {
        Node tab = newTabPane.lookup(".tab");
        if (tab != null) tab.getStyleClass().add("first-tab");
).play();The reason for the Timeline is that I don't really know at what stage the css layout pass is executed. I know that when you initially show the stage and then do a lookup, the css pass seems to have already been done and the lookup will work. But for something that is dynamically added or modified after the scene is displayed - I have no idea when the css layout pass occurs, other than it's some time in the future and not at the time that you add the tabPane to the scene. So, the Timeline introduces a short delay to (hopefully) give the css layout pass time to execute and allow the lookup to work (not return null). Not the best or most efficient solution, but should work for you.

Where is the photo tab in itunes? it doesn't appear in the itunes sidebar

where is the photo tab in itunes? it doesn't appear in the itunes sidebar, I am trying to remove photos from my ipad by restricting them from appearing after synch.

cjmuth wrote:
I was struggling with this too - but seem to have found the issue. It appears the photo synch option in iTunes isn't available unless the photos are out of synch.
This is incorrect.
The Photos tab is always available when you have your iDevice connected.
First open iPhoto, move the photos you want to get rid of to the trash, then close iPhoto.
No one seems to want to delete the photos from iPhoto/computer.
They just don’t want them to sync to the iPad.

First tab and last tab will not display

I think I have found a Firefox bug but don't know where else to report it. In my Firefox browser I have about 74 tabs open without groups and I can't scroll to the first tab or the last tab. At this point I also noticed that while scrolling left or right among tabs there are frequent pauses. The only way I can get view the first tab or the last tab is to access it from the drop down arrow icon next to the new tab icon. This has happened to me the last two times after re-opening the browser. Has anyone else experienced this?

I have the same problem here. It appeared after upgrading to firefox 11.0 on Ubuntu 10.04. I usually have dozens of open tabs and keep them between firefox sessions and never experienced the problem.
The fact that it could be not good idea to keep so many open tabs is irrelevant to the fact that this is a bug. I would not argue if firefox crashed due to memory problems but this behaviour does not make sense, no matter how many tabs you open.
Moreover, i can force the tabs to show again on tab bar if i follow the next procedure:
* For the first tab, go to it (through drop down list) and open a link in a new tab -> The hidden first tab now appears on tab bar
* For the last tab, go to last tab - 1, open a link in a new tab (now the last tab is the recently opened tab), then close it -> now the hidden last tab appears as last on tab bar

Jheadstart: Navigation to First Tab

Hi,
I have a page that has several tabs (Regions)
Scenario:
After the user enters data in all tabs and saves the data, he tries to create a new record by pressing the new button. Instead of navigating to the first tab, the page presents the current tab where the user was when he saved the last record.
Is there a way to navigate to the first tab automatically after the user clicks on the create new record button?
One of the problems the user faces is that if there are mandatory fields in the current tab, he wont be able to navigate to the first tab manually before filling all the fields in the current tab.
Regards,
Ali

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you want, but if you want to simply go directly to a specific tab, you can use it's direct access URL. If you login to portal and bring up Oracle's portal help (use the help link in the upper right on any of the default pages), search for direct access URL and they do a nice job of explaining how to reach a page, tab, subpage, item, etc.
To access a subtab called mytab1 on the mytab tab in Portal release 2 or portal 10g prior to 10.1.4:
http://<hostname>:<portnumber>/pls/portal/url/page/<pagegroupname>/<pagename>/mytab/mytab1
(Note that the names needed for the url are the "Name" field when looking at properties, not the "Display Name")
The URL structure has changed in 10.1.4.

The first tab opened in firefox continually loads and cannot be closed

When I open Firefox the first tab I open will continually load and cannot be closed

Oh boy! I do not know about protected start--what itis & where it is. Where do I find this information? I am new to all this.

I have a lot of tabs saved so they open when I open Firefox, but the first tab always changes into my homepage, Google. Is there any way to stop this?

I have 20+ tabs always open on Firefox and it's set to remember them. However, when I open Firefox the first tab changes from what I had open there into my homepage, Google. I can use the "go backward" thing to get to the page I had there, but since it goes back to Google every time I restart the browser that gets tedious.
The only way to solve this that I've found is to just stop trying to use the first tab and let it be Google. However, I'd like some actual solution that stops this from happening if possible.

Thanks for the reply, it seems to have solved my issue.
My tabs are normal and unpinned, I just have Firefox set to open all my current tabs. Safe Mode didn't seem to have this issue, so I disabled Classic Theme Restorer. Several restarts didn't have problems, so I enabled it again and now this isn't happening anymore. Hopefully it stays gone for good and didn't just stop momentarily.
Edit. So as soon as I posted this, it started happening again. More testing definitely points to Classic Theme Restorer as the cause, so I'll have to investigate solutions on that end.

HELP!! Can's type in Firefox UNLESS I open another internet tab, then go back to the first tab.

HELP!! Can's type in Firefox UNLESS I open another internet tab, then go back to the first tab! All of the sudden, out of the blue, I hear the little "beep" noise that Mac's make when, for example, you try to close a program without saving an item first. It will "beep" to make you aware that you have an unsaved document. Now, without changing anything on my computer or Firefox, I get thet "beep" when I go to Firefox and try to type in a search box, etc. The only way I can type is if I open a new tab in firefox, then go back to the first tab. Only then will I be able to type. If I use my mouse and click on another box to type on, or try to go back and edit text I have already trped using the mouse to jump to a different portion of my text, I will hear the same "beep" until I (once again) click on another tab, then return to the first tab. It is very annoying as I have to constatnly click on another tab then return so that I can type or edit any thing. I had to do this several times while editing this very paragraph!! I have uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled. Nothing changed...
Any help????
Thanks in advance!

To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

When my browser is open and have multiple tabs open, the first tab has the animated circle that shows that page is loading, and if I try to close that tab it does not close. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall but have not been able to clear this issue up, Please help!

The first tab will not close, and often does not load all of a page.

When I open firefox, the first tab always has 'search bookmarks and history' in the address bar, instead of the url of my homepage, and it will not close.

While trying to figure out a solution, I removed my themes and I closed the tabs I could, then clicked on the new tab button, doing so changed my original tab into an (Untitled) tab and created a new (Untitled) tab. I then found I couldn't close either tab, I clicked on new tab again, got a third (Untitled) tab, which again I couldn't close. I then closed Firefox choosing not to save. This appears to have fixed the problem; however I do not know which of the above action(s) resolved it.

Firefox closes when i close the first tab of the browser using latest version 10.0 release.

I open many tabs on firefox, many times when I close the first tab, the entire window closes, and I have to reopen the browser. When I try that many times I get a message saying something like "Firefox is running Cannot open another window". When I checked the Task Manager I see firefox.exe and plugin-container.exe running. but the firefox is nowhere to be seen. Once I "End Task" these two, I can start firefox. This thing happens many times

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

I CANNOT CLOSE THE FIRST TAB WHEN I SEARCH FOR SOMETHING AND CLOSE A SECOND TAB IT WILL NOT LET ME CLOSE THE FIRST TAB

I CANNOT CLOSE THE FIRST TAB AFTER I TYPE IN A SEARCH
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I UPGRADED TO 3.6

I have the same problem and tested it in Safe Mode, and did the disable the add-ons thing. Everything went OK, even up to the last add-on. There wasn't a hint of the problem anymore, so I went back to regular use of FF (3.6.12) again. WELL, THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN!!! I agree with the person who said that your supposed troubleshooting is B.S. You blame the user instead of saying something useful like "OK, we heard you (and over two dozen others) and we know it's not your doing, and it's OUR PROBLEM, and we're going to look into it and figure out how to fix it, AND we'll get back to you when we do and tell you how to fix it too." THAT's the kind of answer we FF users want to hear, not some claptrap about how WE the users didn't try hard enough to fix it on our own!

The first tab I have never closes and when I open a second one and close that the whole browser will close. Is this a bug?

Since downloading the 4.0 beta, in both versions (4.0 and 3.6) I can't close the first tab that is opened when I start the browser. I click the red close button and nothing happens but if I open another tab and close that then it will close and the whole browser will close. I have uninstalled the beta version and the 3.6 version and reinstalled the 3.6 version but it hasn't made a difference.

JUst experienced the exact same problem after changing password.Getting same message. Hope someone has an answer for this.

Where is my first tab?
