Firefox: Tabbed browsing options added to branch


Recommended Posts

Staind: Tinderbox creates new build every 2 or so hours and the patches were checked in about 4 hours ago...I download a new build after the official release for the day and I have the options along with the other people in this thread.

IceDogg: Remove any of those tabbed extensions so that they dont mess up anything and then use the same options as I have selected above.

You do not need the Single Window extension anymore as long as you have both of the options that refer to using a single tab/reuse window selected.

I do, and I did remove TBE and all others of the like. Here is SS:

any ideas?

still not working for me :( tried all that and still not working.. did new profile and everything.. dang it.. guess it was over due.. everyone been having some problem here or there and I've been lucky. I did install over the top.. maybe I uninstall and redo that now.

Yeah, I had to uninstall (I kept my profile, though) for a smoother transition.

This must sound like a retarded question but how does one exactly back up their user profile? Do I just copy the profile folder located in C:\Documents and Settings\<<Username>>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles?

Thanks for any help in advance.

Ok I did put bak. in front of all that and still no good. here is a copy of these files. user.js and prefs.js

but like I said I but bak. in front to disable them and still no good. I did have an error when instaling here is a picture of that

I had to close it down but it ran fine..just these options are not working.

Was I suppose to import the backup I made? I uninstalled Firefox after making the backup and reinstalled this new copy and my settings are all intact. That program suppose to work that way? :blink:

Anyway. This is awesome. I can finally preview layouts from Dreamweaver in one Firefox tab! TBP was allowing me to see them in the same window, but it created a new tab everytime I would preview a layout.

Is this going to be in the Final release of Firefox? Can't wait...

kgraphik: you did the right thing. usually you dont have to start a new profile but its highly reccomended that you uninstall firefox and then install the new version (doesnt touch the profile like that) And yes it will be in 1.0.

finalcut: try setting this to true 'browser.tabs.forceHide'

IceDogg: just ignore that error. This is really hard to explain, well kinda...the server for QFA was/is down when that build was built so the QFA wasnt included and the installer doesn't notice that so it thinks its an error. Also try these settings in the screenshot below.

EDIT: Just looked throught your user.js all is good there but your user.js :blink: could be a number of things in there...those preferences override any option set in the program itsself. I'm gonna suggest you do a complete clean install of firefox and of your profile...of course you can backup your bookmarks, passwords and the other import things...but do not put that pref.js back in there!

Ok I tried it and still no go. I'll just live with it. This is the problem I have been trying to fix from day one with Fx I used TBE for a while, but it messes up so many other things. Thanks for trying to help me. Outside of reformat (which is not worth it) I don't know what else to try. I totally removed all FX stuff and started over and it still doesn't work for me.

ok, uninstall firefox, delete your whole profile (keep your bookmarks), run regedit. Search for and delete anything that contains "Mozilla" "Phoenix" "Firebird" and "Firefox" Do a custom install of Firefox, uncheck the QFA, finish install, Change the options as you wish...DO no use that pref.js file, the user.js file is ok though! everything should work perfectly!

btw just to make sure what your trying to do can actually be done. Please explain again what you are trying to do and post links if possible...I just want to make sure I am totally understanding you correctly

EDIT: Please tell me your OS is Windows?

IceDogg, if you are talking about links in gmail emails, they open in new windows because they are javascript links. These patches won't have any effect on them, there's a patch in the same bug that forces also javascript links into new tabs but I'm not sure if it will be checked in. It probably won't make it.

    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.

    • Apple is expanding Private Cloud Compute beyond its own data centers by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, as part of the improved Apple Intelligence capabilities, Apple today announced that it is expanding Private Cloud Compute (PCC), its privacy-focused cloud infrastructure for Apple Intelligence, beyond its own data centers for the first time. Private Cloud Compute was designed to handle Apple Intelligence requests that are too complex to run fully on-device. The PCC system does not store user data and does not allow Apple or anyone else to access user requests. Last year, Apple also expanded its Security Bounty program with rewards of up to $1 million for researchers who could find serious vulnerabilities in PCC. Until now, Apple's PCC data centers were using Apple's own silicon. As part of the expansion, Apple is working with Google and NVIDIA to run new Apple Intelligence workloads on Google Cloud systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. Apple will be using this new infrastructure to execute more demanding AI tasks while maintaining the same privacy and security guarantees of PCC. The new implementation uses NVIDIA Confidential Computing with NVIDIA GPUs, Intel CPUs with TDX, and Google’s Titan chip. Apple says it has worked with Google to build additional protections beyond a traditional confidential computing deployment. Despite the expansion to third-party data centers, Apple claims that its core PCC requirements remain unchanged, including stateless computation, no privileged runtime access, non-targetability, and verifiable transparency. The company highlighted that it will continue to control the PCC software stack, and Apple devices will only trust PCC software that has been cryptographically approved by Apple. To take security to the next level, Apple mentioned that it is maintaining an append-only ledger of Google Cloud hardware that is part of the PCC fleet. The company claims this will help reduce the risk of supply chain attacks. In addition to AI infrastructure, Apple also worked with Google to use technologies behind the Gemini family of models to build the next generation of Apple Foundation Models to power Apple Intelligence features across on-device and cloud workloads. As expected, for more demanding AI tasks like agentic tool use and complex reasoning, Apple will rely on the expanded PCC infrastructure running on Google Cloud. The expansion of PCC on Google Cloud will gradually ramp toward the full set of protections during the summer preview period. As before, Apple will also publish binaries for public inspection, provide research tooling, and give researchers access to live PCC nodes in research mode through the Apple Security Bounty Program.
