Tab Mix Plus

I have a complex problem which involves a combination of addons and an external program. It causes the multi-row function to fail and puts all the tabs on one long row. I've tested this on a new profile. If you're interested or just bored maybe you can help me confirm this. I am using TMP latest development build, FF11 (also happens on Nightly), and XP SP3.

You need the Internet Download Manager program
website: http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/
download: http://mirror2.internetdownloadmanager.com/idman609.exe
After IDM is installed make sure its addon 'IDM CC' is enabled in AOM. Also enable the advanced browser integration in Downloads/Options/General/ 'Use advanced browser integration' and see that the mozilla firefox box is checked.

Then you need the TextArea Cache addon. You can leave TextArea Cache settings to default. Enable the multi-row feature in TMP. I don't think tab width matters but I have mine set to 158 to 250.

Create 2 full rows of tabs (if you have less than 1.5 row of tabs it doesn't seem to happen). Open a site where you can use TextArea Cache, like Pastebin. Enter some text and wait a few seconds for TAC to save the text. Then restart firefox. When firefox loads again you should see one long row of tabs. This problem doesn't happen if the tab that loads up on firefox restart is the AOM or a blank tab. If you didn't experience the problem, go to Pastebin and enter some text, wait for TAC to save it, click the TAC icon in statusbar and click Empty the Cache, move to another tab, and restart and see if it occurs.

If the problem happens you can click the '+' new tab button and that will restore the multi-rows.

Can anyone else recreate this problem?

ok I just experienced the problem even after disabling TextArea Cache. Even though I've disabled it plenty of times before and it would always stop this problem. But I just installed a newer version of IDM a few minutes ago. So I wonder if IDM is the main culprit. I'll have to do some more testing.

I use TC and have never seen this problem. Are you sure you don't have some tabs/tabbar related style/userChrome.css code?

Yes I'm sure it wasn't some other tab related extension because I didn't install anything else. I made a brand new profile and only installed those few addons and was able to reproduce the problem everytime except ugh....now I can't recreate it. I made another new profile and haven't been able to duplicate the problem. I don't know what happened but I KNOW it occurred the 1st time because I was able to repeat the problem at least a dozen times. I forgot to mention though I had the Nightly Tester Tools addon installed in the new profile so I could enable compatibility with IDM CC. I should also mention that I use Sandboxie with firefox but it still happens when the browser is unsandboxed.

I went back to my normal profile and it still has this problem. After I re-enabled TAC and restarted firefox the problem came back immediately. I looked in error console and this is what I get when firefox restarts with the pastebin.com tab loaded: http://www.pastebin.com/gvkQDXcD
Doesn't look like there's anything tmp related.

What else can I do?

Do you have a style or a css code in your userChrome.css file of the problematic profile? I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with TC as TC has nothing to do with tabs and, as i said, i use it and don't experience any problems with it.
Are you using the default Fx theme?

I do have a userchrome.css file. Here's what in it:





I am using the Skyclouds persona but I've tried it with the default theme and the same thing happens. I notice going to fullscreen (F11) also fixes the one row problem.

onemen I have like 40+ addons that I'd have to reinstall and configure. And the problem could very well happen again if one of the addons is contributing to it and we don't know which one.

You can download the IDM add here https://data.internetdownloadmanager.com/idmmzcc/idmmzcc.xpi and see if it plays nice with your addons. I can't pinpoint the problem. I disable addons until the problem goes away then I re-enable the addon and the problem doesn't return right away. I restart 3-4 times and then it comes back. Then I restart again and it goes away. It's driving me mad.
