Waylander Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 im currently using TBE as its the only way to get everything i want without half a dozen extensions or lots of messing around with about:config but recently someone told me about tab mix but i cant seem to find out exactly what features it has (the homepage is down) and the mozilla forums thread doesnt seem to be much help either, does anyone have a link to a full feature list or maybe a few screenshots of its config section?

Incarnate Posted May 26, 2005 Share Posted May 26, 2005 if you want to know how to change the options: tools>extensions click tab mix click options for the full feature list you'll have to look on the official site which seems to be down atm.

+Xinok Subscriber² Posted May 26, 2005 Subscriber² Share Posted May 26, 2005 http://img206.echo.cx/my.php?image=tabmix4cy.png ;) I like the extension, has the most common features in tab exts and is stable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 26, 2005 Author Share Posted May 26, 2005 not bad at all, thanks for that image xinok you got me to switch. the only feature i really miss is the list of recently closed tabs (unless im missing something) does anyone know of anything that offers the same in a small stable extension?

Pink Floyd Veteran Posted May 26, 2005 Veteran Share Posted May 26, 2005 I was a huge fan of TBE too but that was before I discover tabmix while back there is a mod version for trunk nightly builts too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 when i try to enable the "Single Window Mode" it turns itself off each time firefox is restarted, this is quite annoying as external links (for example mirc or searches from foo_web) are opened in a new window rather than in a tab. does anyone know what i am doing wrong?

Don't know why it doesn't work via Tab Mix though, strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 i tried that but i still get multiple windows, i also found the tabmix setting for single window mode in about:config but setting it to true gives the same result as setting it in the options.

keithy397 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Have you got any other tab browsing extensions installed that may be conflicting? Tab Mix 2.1, latest version. You may even have a corrupted profile. Try creating a new profile, install Tab Mix, close and restart Firefox and then select the options you require and check the functionality, I can't see why it shouldn't work.

gur713 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 i enhanced tab mix a bit, if anyone wants it you can grab it here it has some new features as well as some fixes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waylander Posted May 27, 2005 Author Share Posted May 27, 2005 ah i found the option, it was in firefox's options>advanced under tabbed browsing and it gives you the option of what to do with external links, now the single window setting will stay ticked in tab mix.

gur713 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 yeh the option was previously there but the developer removed it because he said the didnt want to duplicate options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithy397 Posted May 27, 2005 Share Posted May 27, 2005 Glad it wasn't anything too painful Waylander! I'd forgot about that in the options menu. Thanks for the link to a different version of Tab Mix gur713, I'll take it for a spin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
