I am running Firefox 12 with Tab Mix Plus Dev-Build 0.4.0.2pre.120417a. Before Firefox 12 I was able to open new bookmarks in the current blank tab, but now with Firefox 12 it open up in a new tab with the blank tab still visible to the left. I have the Load on new tabs option in TMP set to blank page. Do I have something setup incorrectly or is there an issue with TMP and Firefox 12?

Thanks,
Kizer

I don't have any problems, my bkmrks open in the current tab if it's blank, as usual. onemen is on vacation and might not sign in for a couple of weeks. Post your settings and i can try them (export as a .txt file, attach in your post). Also, try a clean profile, could be a new conflict with other ext.

No, didn't have any problems - clean profile, your settings, bkmrks open in the current tab if it's blank.
You can try disabling half of your exts., then another half, etc. to isolate which ext. might be conflicting or you can try a clean profile and then add your ext. one by one.

Where is the bkmrks open in the current tab if it's blank option?

Thanks, I found when I uncheck open tabs from Bookmarks on the Tab Opening tab it opens in the blank window, but I want bookmarks to open in a new tab unless there is a blank tab and then I want it to open in the blank tab instead of a new tab first. I have always had it checked and it was working fine until Firefox 12.

Same issue here as kizer8's - could be caused by the new about:newtab feature included in Firefox 12.
Cheers

I found that with yours and my settings (all tabs locked and everything opens in a new tab regardless), bkmrks open in the current tab if it's blank AND in focus ... which actually shouldn't be happening in my case either (since all tabs are locked).
I think onemen has changed this at some point to work like that (i never use it this way and didn't know until now but remember seeing something about reusing tabs if blank ...) but there seems to be something wrong with it since it seems to depend on focus.
As i said, maybe onemen will shad some light on this, let's wait.

yes,
the new about:newtab is the problem.

Tabmix is design to always reuse the current tab if it is blank tab (about:blank).
In Firefox 12 about:newtab is considers as blank and as such when opening new bookmark when the current tab is about:newtab or about:blank the bookmark should open in the current tab.

i will have to look in the code to find why it doesn't work

I don't see what needs to be worked on 'cause, as i said, it does open in the focused tab for me (with my and kizer8 settings). That is, if a blank tab is in focus, bkmrk opens in that tab. But if i open a new tab and it's not focused, let's say unfocused tab at the end of tabs, bkmrk will open in another tab leaving the existing blank tab ... blank (my new tab is set to blank). Presumption here is, i think, that if somebody opened a blank tab but didn't focus on it, there' some reason for that. Otherwise, they would focus on the new blank tab. Makes sense to me.

It doesn't work for me. I close all tabs leaving just a blank one and then click on it to bring it into focus. When I click on a bookmark it opens in a new tab instead of the current focused blank tab. What am I doing wrong or maybe I don't have something else set in Firefox correctly? My firefox looks like this http://s17.postimage.org/4s02pnn0f/Screen.jpg. My left tab says new tab and I don't see the icons in the brand new tab page. I wonder if something is broke in Firefox causing the issue with TMP.

It looks like your new tab is set for about:newtab which is the new thing in Fx12.

Quote from the install confirmation page:

Starting with Firefox 12, Tabmix default for "Load on new tabs" option changed to New Tab Page. When you update Firefox to v.12, it resets Tabmix option to New Tab Page and you have to make your selection again. You have a few options if you had the Blank Page option selected previously:

re-set Tabmix to load Blank Page.
use the New Tab Page for new tabs.
use the New Tab Page but disable it by clicking on the button on the upper right corner, this will turn the New Tab Page into blank page for new tabs.
(or setting browser.newtabpage.enabled to false)
set Tabmix to load the New Tab Page and set the address to about:blank.


Another words, check your settings for new tab and reset them to Blank tab: Events/New Tab > Load ... Blank page]. You may also want to check and reset Events/Tab closing > Closing Last tab > When i close last tab ... > Blank page.

Of course, that's if you don't want the new New tab Fx 'feature' (which is what i see on your shot). Even if you do want it, it worth a try. I suspect your setting has been reset and bkmrks now open in a new tab for you since there's no blank tab.

I had already set the Events/New Tab > Load to Blank page, but had not set the Closing Last tab > When i close last tab to Blank page. Once I did that everything is working now. Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it.

Hmm, odd. Odd. I would think this option has nothing to do with opening bookmarks ... Image
Well, i'm glad to hear it's solved. Thanks for not giving up, this thread might help somebody else.
Good Luck!

Yep, that's working for me too - thank you guys!
You may need to restart Firefox for the fix to be working, as I'm quite sure I did try it after the changes and it was not effective; it is now.
One of the coolest extensions out there, thanks again.
Cheers

Good to hear, good luck!

onemen,

you may want to add the portion about Blank tab in the Events - Tab Closing paragraph of the Help page.

The problem in Firefox 12 that changing browser.newtab.url require restart

if you change it from about:blank to about:newtab without restart then the new about:newtab tabs will to considers as blank in this session.

Firefox developers fixed the bug for upcoming Firefox 13.
The default value for browser.newtab.url will be about:newtab in Firefox 13

Do you mean we'll have to reset it all over again?
