Firefox 3.6 - Tab Settings

jp_bl_68 · 13 Mar 2010 at 21:18

I just updated FF to 3.6 and my tab settings seem to have changed. Instead of new tabs being added to the end of the 'queue' they open immediately to the right of the tabbed page I'm attempting to open a new tab from, e.g. say my current tabs are as follows:

IMDb home --- OcUK home --- Google --- Wikipedia home

If I try to open my IMDb profile page in a new tab it used to appear to the right of 'Wikipedia home' but now it appears directly to the right of 'IMDb home'. How can I change my tab settings back to the way they used to be?

I seem to remember having this problem before but I can't remember how I resolved it.

1) open a new tab and type: about:config
2) Put in the filter: browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent
3) the line will show up as follows:

browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent | default | boolean | true

double-click on that line. It will change to:

browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent | user set | boolean | false

I'll be careful, I promise!

. That's done the trick, thank you.

Thanks gads. Completely forget I changed the configuration on the previous upgrade.
