Firefox help
Yesterday I went and made a silly beginner's mistake and erased a critical file for my Win2k computer. So it meant either reinstalling/repairing 2k, or upgrading to XP as I've been meaning to do. So I upgraded. And with the upgrade I also am trying out Firefox.
So, I've downloaded extensions and plug ins, but I'm having trouble finding something (an extension, a preference setting, something), that when I have Firefox already open, and I click the Firefox icon in my quick Launch, it opens a new tab in the already open Firefox. It currently opens a whole new window, despite my preferences stating to open all links in a new tab only. Anyone found a way to do this? |
i dont think you can. why not just right click up by your tab bar and click new tab, then youre good to go?
|
I've never heard of anything like that for FF. Might want to see if there is an extension that automatically combines all open windows into one?

How about a way to modify my menus? Like getting rid of the Bookmark Toolbar Folder, or the "open all in tabs"...I don't plan to use either, and they take up space. Again, just nuisance things, but I could do all of this in Opera.
|
that under the view tab...you can change that from there

The customize toolbars won't do it either. |

In Opera, there were .ini files I could edit to alter the menu appearance, remove items I didn't want, etc. Any idea if there is a similar way to do this? I haven't found any yet. |

Garrett kinda came up with a fix for you....it's not exact though.
You can modify the shortcut in your quick launch to automatically open a new tab with a link. Garrett and I just tested it in a Linux environment, but it should work in XP too. We are gonna try to test that now, will report back shortly. - Justin |
Ok, this works in XP......
Right click on the icon and select properties. In the Target textbox of the Properties window, you should have the target file to launch firefox, which should be the path to your firefox.exe file, and the entire path should be in quotes. After the trailing quote, press space once, then use this: -new-tab about:blank (to open a blank tab) or -new-tab www.google.com (to open a tab with a specific URL) That should work fine for you. :) - Justin |
Awesome. Worked perfectly. :)
