Annoying "bug" in FF...


Recommended Posts

Hi mates,

lately I can't get mouse scroll to work at all :( (Middle button (MB) click and than move mouse up and down to scroll)

MB works I'm sure of it... I can open new tabs and close them, and mouse scroll is working in IE, Opera and in windows folders. I have latest logitech drivers for my mouse (MX700)

2nd problem is: How do I force all links to open in a new tab in same window? I looked through settings but I can't find nothing there :/

For the 2nd thing, download Tabbrowser extension.

No need for an extension....

[edit] Now that I think about it, I believe the branch (official builds) doesn't have this new options menu... But IIRC, those builds still have this option somewhere. If you want the new options menu, grab a trunk build from the mozillazine forums.

Awesome, I was just about to post a topic about the second problem. Thanks for the easy solution, HellBender. :)

No need for that, Tabbrowser Preferences does this:

Jesus, just use the built in tab options. They are even available in official 1.0x builds, you just have to unlock them.

Well autoscroll solved first problem but I had to download the tab extension in order to get second one to work :(

My Options menu is different form the one you showed there Hellbender, option icons are on the left side...

Gday to you bangbang023 (Hope you are the same bang from OC forums :)

oc forums?

His options menu is different cause he is using the nightly trunk builds. To unlock those tab options, in the address bar, type in "about:config" without the quotes. In the screen that appears, right click, choose new and choose "boolean". For the preference name, enter browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs and for the value, set it to True. Now restart Firefox. Under advanced options, you should have a whole bunch of tabbed browsing options.

This value may already exist for you, so search for it first. If it does exist, simply set it to true and restart.
