Firefox: Tabbed browsing options added to branch

[supernova_00]

:jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

Options for where to open URLs from other applications (reuse tab, new tab, new window) etc were added to the aviary branch...when that build is released I will post a link to it because I know a lot of people have been waiting for these options. So now TBE and TBP are no longer needed for just the options for this...of course you can still use TBE and TBP for other options like session saver and other things.

EDIT: Its not just URLs from other apps either...thats just what the bug was filed as.

BUG# 172962

DOWNLOAD LINK

I highly recommend uninstalling your older version first, no need to delete your profile though.

Ignore my post below!!

Can you say "finally"! The number of people that I see asking how to use tabbed browsing, in a browser that advertisers it as one of it's main features, is ridiculous.

Edit: works great. :cool:

I know what you mean. :laugh: This is great, I assume this will make it into the 1.0 final?

[supernova_00]

Yes this is in the aviary branch, which 1.0 will be built off. can't remember if i posted this already but there is also a patch to make javascript window.open scripts open in a tab or whereever you want...not too sure when that is gonna be checked in. And also the "bug" was blocking fixes for about 12 other bugs depending on this fix :)

EDIT: Damn that was fast...mac-only native hookup of external URL control patch was just submitted, should be in tomorrows or many even a later todays build as long as it gets approved

Ok, I have question.. is the avery the one that Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040928 Firefox/0.10 (bangbang023) is built off from? I did read in his thread, but I couldn't find where it said, maybe I missed it I dunno.. sorry if I did. Or if not.. where can we get this build? I'm excited about this.. sorry If I'm not making sense.

edit: sorry I found it.. right under his (bangbang023) sig.. so it is.

[supernova_00]

Yes IceDogg...this is the part that tells you if its branch or trunk (rv:1.7.3)=branch (rv:1.8.x)=trunk i dont know what the trunk version is right now but i know its 1.8 something

[IceDogg]

LOL ^^^^ Thanks.. you beat me to my edit. :D

[dreamz Veteran]

[Veedems Veteran]

Bah my build compiled before it was checked in.

[IceDogg]

LOL np man.. I just wanted to find out if something was wrong with my setup or something. You do Great work!! keep it up. :)

[supernova_00]

lol I thought it was checked in before the official build was built today when i first posted this, when it was release i was disappointed to find no options so i edited this thread and a few hours later they were in! :D

[xxdesmus]

[IceDogg]

Links in google still open new window no mater what settings you have. Just thought I'd post this news. Still awesome they are finally adding this in.

[jack_canada]

does it support drag and drop of tabs now?

[supernova_00]

IceDogg: it works for me by opening in the same tab

Jack canada: do you mean dragndrop of a link onto the tab bar? if so then yes

[jack_canada]

i meant draging like move tabs to other positions

[supernova_00]

nope and it will definently be implement for the 1.0 release

[L3thal Veteran]

About time :D

[supernova_00]

IceDogg: Which links are you talking about?

[IceDogg]

Your right, Thanks supernova_00!! Dang you are THE man!!

[Steven]

This thread was premature, it won't be in until tomorrows official branch build. 10/01.

[IceDogg]

well heck supernova_00 I spoke to soon.. that just opens a new window. I want the links in emails to open in new tab not window.

[semifamous]

IceDogg, you need an extension that will force "Single Window Mode" There's one called that, I believe, but Tabbrowser Extensions has that feature as well, and that's what I use.
