Mozzila Update - New Window/Tab have swapped.

BennyC · 9 May 2011 at 20:58

I've updated my Mozilla and when double tapping on a link to bring up an options list where I would usually 'open in new tab' the order has now swapped.

Previously 'Open In New Tab' was second down, with 'Open In New Window' being first. Now it's the other way around and I keep opening things in new windows which is frustrating as I like browsing multiple tabs in one window.

Any way to switch this back?

I don't think so mate, searched this myself

It's a right pain I agree

Blerrrgh! Took me a while to figure out why new windows kept opening. Don't mind too much as long as they don't change it back again once I've adjusted to how it is now!

There is a way to change this! Let me see if I can find the info.

EDIT:

You need to edit the userchrome.css file in your mozilla profile folder. If it doesn't exist there are ways to create it.
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css

The code you need to add to the userchrome.css is as follows:

----------------------------------------------------

#contentAreaContextMenu > * {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 2;
}
#context-openlink {
-moz-box-ordinal-group: 1 !important;
}

----------------------------------------------------

This definately works under windows and I'm led to believe it works on OSX too. It's just a bit more complicated on mac if you don't have a userchrome.css file as you will manually need to create that file in the correct location to start with.

The easier option may be to try the "Menu Editor" extension. I have no experience of this but it does supposedly work.
