Firefox - new windows opening in new tab

mrochester · 9 Nov 2011 at 22:18

Hi all

When using Firefox 7, if I'm looking at a page and then open all bookmarks in tabs, the first bookmark loads in place of the page I was viewing. However, in Firefox 8, the same action makes the bookmarks load in tabs following the page I am viewing, leaving it open. Does anyone know of a way (other than reverting back to FF7) to achieve the same thing in FF8?

Many thanks

M.

I've unchecked that option already and unfortunately that doesn't make any difference.

mrochester,

Dose this happen when you use Firefox in Safe Mode?

Did you upgrade Firefox or new installation? - Maybe one of your add-ons are messing it up?

I'd suggest uninstalling Firefox completely and re-installing a fresh copy.

In that case I would recommend installing the Tab Utilities extension, it expands on FF's built in tab settings and gives a lot of extra options.

As a follow up to this, does anyone know what settings I need to set in Tab Utilities to make the tabs work in the way I want? I can't see to figure it out.

Thanks
