Resolved - New window does not open in new tab after installation of some plugin's.

2010-05-13 2 min read Linux

After I installed some plugin’s, the new windows were not opening in the tab. Rather they were opening in new window. This consumes time and memory which I did not like. I checked and re-checked to confirm that the setting for opening new window in tab was in there and still ………. alas……..

So, I reverted to checking if I could do something in the about:config entries to do the trick and yes it was there. Before we go into the specific entry, if you are interested, here is the link to the mozilla site for documentation on the about:config parameters. If you want to tinker with the settings, I suggest you first go through the list and make sure what you are doing.

Firefox 4.0 mockups for LInux/Windows and Mac

2010-05-11 1 min read Firefox

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/3.7_and_4.0_Theme_and_UI_Revamp

The link above will take you to the Mozilla wiki for the UI and theme mockups for the Firefox 4.0 release. Quite interesting but what I did not like is that the Linux mockup looks more like chrome. Not sure why mozilla would want to do that 🙂

Tabs-on-top: Defaut tabs to top of UI.
Hiding the Menu Bar: Hide the menu bar and add Page and Tools buttons.
