Tab Mix Plus

Links open in the same tab despite locking tabs - this has been an issue for me for a while now but i had the lock tabs option unchecked in order to use another ext. - Drag Link, made for me specifically 'cause onemen refuses to add the option to TMP .
The DL ext. is now updated so that i can use it with TMP' lock tabs option enabled. Fine. However, images, for instance, on us.o site still open in the same tab. Here's an example, there's an image in that thread.

Are you referring, for example, to the image in lefft's second post on that page?

If so, with the tab locked, I clicked on it and it opened in a new tab. With tab not locked, it opened in same tab.

Yes, i mean that image. Tabs locked - opens in the same tab for me. I guess i'll have to see what other exts. might be interferring here ... can't see any that would.

ah ok. sorry, misunderstanding

no. it was always like this over previous versions

Can you confirm incompatibility with Firefox 12?

if the same behavior was over previous Firefox versions, what exactly is the incompatibility with Firefox 12?

no, another misunderstanding. the behaviour concerning disconnectivity is in general.

since i updated to Fx12 no sessions are saved anymore.

two problems seperated from each other

Ray,
thanks for testing. I forgot, i've already tried with all other exts. disabled and still had the issue. It might be something in this profile about:config that overrides TMP locked tabs 'cause i see this not just on us.o but other sites as well, it was just the most recent example. I probably will never figure it out unless i migrate to another profile w/out my prefs.js ...

If you are always trying different extensions and then discarding them, there might be leftover preferences and/or preference changes in your prefs.js. file. You might want to try the eCleaner addon. You can search prefs in prefs.js by addon. If you see ones for addons you no longer have, you can delete them. At this point, it might be worth a try.

I did look in prefs.js and then about:config for leftovers, didn't find any even though there's stuff in the prefs.js. it's a fairly old profile ... but i still hate to think i have to start a new one ...

This is odd. The same thing was happening in a clean profile with TMP only installed. Then i exported settings from one (semi-)clean profile where it worked all right and boom! it's working now. Go figure this one. The settings look the same to me, what the F?!

EDIT: oh, the only difference was that Lock app tabs is now checked and it wasn't. BUT! I don't use app tabs, at all, never have.

Another EDIT: Ray,
thanks for eCleaner, neat! ... even though the dialog doesn't resize properly

if it happen again make sure that the tab is relay locked.
you can see if the tab is locked by showing locked icon on locked tab or by checking in tab context menu if lock tab is mark with "V"

No, thank you, i'd rather have a link open in the same tab than have those things on my tabs or a menuitem i don't need in my menu! No offense, of course, just a matter of taste
What do you mean 'really'? Do you mean the Lock new tabs option is unreliable and i have to check if tab(-s) are 'really' locked manually? Just like i do the Reload tab every ... because the option get's lost every so often and i have to reset it?... Looks like i will soon need a 'List of things to do when using TMP'
It's working fine once again. I'm thinking ... since the settings are the same in all profiles, there was something in my about:config that i reset but Fx is slow on some things and it could be that it took a couple of restarts for whatever it was to take effect.
Otherwise i would have to believe there are miracles!

just tried it:

fresh install of Fx12 and TMP. Sessions are not saved anymore and the bookmark bar remains blank


edit: ok, solved. its all-in-sidebar which interferes with TMP

I just want to expiate my guilt with this post - I updated Nightly (using Wheezy) & TMP seemed not to work. I submitted a compatibility report claiming tab styling & width didn't work. Then I restarted Nightly & yes TMP seems fine, so it was just Nightly seeming to need a second restart after an update, something which I seem to have to do after an update. I wasn't really fully functioning after the night before & I really wish I hadn't filed the spurious report.
TMP seems fine to me with todays Nightly

Ok, some findings:
If I remove Status Bar item from AddonsBar, things go way weird. Bookmarks are gone, and no session loads.


If I re-add that item, then hide it via Stylish, all is well. I'll try and verify that via blank profile, then report back here.

EDIT: Created a new profile, installed latest TMP (0.4.0.1), TotalToolbar and Console2 - the result was as reported. If the statusbar item is removed from AddonsBar, TMP breaks, breaking up quite a lot of other things whilst there.

DMCrimson,

Removing Status Bar item from AddonsBar (with TotalToolbar) brake Firefox itself, not just Tabmix.

Firefox BrowserStartup function is looking status-bar


even without Tabmix you will get an error

Now, what can I say but "Duh!" If that functionality is nowadays considered redundant, then why hang the whole thing on it?
