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

Fxinstall.jpg

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.

    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft offered a look at the upcoming Halo: Combat Evolved remake at the Xbox Games Showcase today. The Halo Studios-developed title is not only getting a fully remade campaign, but also new content in the form of a fresh story arc featuring Sgt. Johnson. Fans don't have to wait long, either, as Halo: Campaign Evolved is releasing next month. The new content joining the original campaign consists of three new missions that have the name "Operation: METEORITE" attached to the full project. Aside from ground-based combat, space missions are also included here. These prequel missions will take players to events set before the original campaign, where the Master Chief and Sgt. Johnson duo team up for a clandestine UNSC operation aboard a Covenant research vessel. The studio says that the story for these missions was written in collaboration with award-winning sci-fi author Troy Denning. "Operation: METEORITE gives players a chance to expand their experience with new locations, new enemy variants, more weapons from across the Halo series, and new ways to play within the Halo sandbox, all while getting to spend more time with beloved characters and witness a new event that adds to the legacy of their heroic history," adds Halo Studios. Today's new trailer showed off the game in action, including the new missions. Catch it below. Halo Campaign Evolved is coming out on July 28, 2026. It will be available across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $49.99 price tag. A digital premium edition will also be available for $69.99, offering five days of early access, extra in-game skins, and a digital art collection. A $199.99 physical Collector's Edition is also incoming, bringing a Master Chief statue, a Cortana chip, a Steelbook case, and more.
    • To give context to everybody, I bought about 2 sets of RAM, ddr4, 3200, 64 gb, 2 years ago. It costed me 150 usd for each set. If you buy RAM now you only incentivate companies to sell you expensive stuff, as Nvidia did.
    • KillerPDF 1.4.2 by Razvan Serea KillerPDF is a lightweight, portable PDF editor for Windows built for users who want full control without subscriptions, installers, or telemetry. It runs as a single executable, making it ideal for USB use and field work. You can view PDFs with smooth PDFium rendering, navigate quickly with thumbnails, zoom, and shortcuts, and reorganize pages using drag-and-drop. It supports merging multiple PDFs, splitting documents, and extracting selected pages. KillerPDF also allows inline text editing with font matching to preserve the original layout, plus annotations like text boxes, freehand drawing, highlights, and reusable signatures. You can search full text, copy content easily, and print documents with flattened annotations. Designed as a free and open alternative to bloated PDF tools, it works fully offline on Windows 10/11 x64. No runtimes install. Everything needed is inside the EXE (targets .NET Framework 4.8, which ships with every supported Windows release). KillerPDF key features: High-quality PDF rendering via PDFium Edit PDF text inline (double-click to modify text) Page thumbnails and fast navigation with zoom and shortcuts Merge multiple PDFs into one Split PDFs and extract selected pages Drag-and-drop page reordering Font matching to preserve original document appearance Text boxes for notes Freehand drawing tools Highlight overlays with adjustable color, size, opacity Undo actions and clear per-page annotations Create, draw, and save reusable signatures Click-to-place signatures anywhere Full-text search with highlighted results Drag-select or Ctrl+A to copy text Print with annotations flattened Portable single-file app (~10 MB) No installer, no admin rights required No account, no telemetry KillerPDF 1.4.2 changelog: What's new PDF form filling. Interactive PDF forms now render their fields (text inputs, checkboxes, radio buttons) as live controls. Fill them in directly and save — field values are written back into the PDF. PDF outline (bookmark) navigation. A new OUTLINES tab in the sidebar displays the document's bookmark tree. Click any entry to jump to that page. The sidebar auto-fits its width to the longest entry on open and can be dragged wider; switching back to PAGES snaps to the pages-mode width. Fixed Page rotation no longer reverts after saving. Rotations applied via the sidebar context menu now persist correctly through the save pipeline. Copied text words were out of order on PDFs where glyphs are stored in non-reading order (Issue #66). Text extraction now sorts words by position and uses a dynamic line-grouping threshold so both drag-select and Select All produce correctly ordered output. PDFs with malformed or non-standard XRef tables now open in read-only mode instead of showing "Invalid entry in XRef table" and failing entirely.
