Firefox 2.0 - Page 4

I wonder if we're talking about the same thing.

I've been poking around to see if there was a build that had this before and can't find anything (all of the developer communities talk about this as a new feature for 2.0).

This is one thing about TabMixPlus. I had (haven't reinstalled it yet) it so that when I moused over a tab for 1/5 second it became active. Never clicked on tabs to make them active so there was no risk of accidentally clicking the close button. I disabled the middle click because I am more likely to accidentally to click it when trying to scroll.

But there is a ton of cool personalizations that can be done in the about:config options if you poke around into what they mean.

Perhaps they're thinking of the close button in the upper right that closed the active tab, rather than having a close button on each tab in the tab title, active or not?

I have close buttons on all tabs, active or not!

Wacky.

Mac?

lizziebith · 12-05-2006, 11:40 PM

Nope, Vaio w/Windows XP Home. Wonder what Kevy's got?

Kevy's got a Mac, which is why I asked.

On Firefox, when I open a new page it is blank. Does anyone know how to assign a page to open everytime when you hit 'New Tab'?

Don't know if there's a way to do it by default, but the Tab Mix plus add-on that Alex mentions above has that functionality.

It appears there is an about:config option for this (browser.tabs.loadonnewtab) that handles this and setting it to 1 should cause a new tab to load your default home page but it isn't working for me.
