Tab Mix Plus

TMP (curr. dev. version) WFM with MR Tech Toolkit in Branch aka Shiretoko.

The latest TMP build conflicts with the experimental "About:Tab" extension (seen on planet.mozilla.org). If you set about:tab as your homepage/new tab page, without TMP it works fine when you open a new tab. With TMP you get a blank page.

Just an FYI.

One more bug and if it has been mentioned sorry I missed it.

In Fx 3.5b4pre 20090328 Build TMP Closed Tabs Button is no longer working.

I did the usual troubleshooting to test for conflicts but no dice. New profile did nothing either.

Just thought Oneman might want to know.

Cheers!

Funny buglet with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090401 Shiretoko/3.5b4pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) - Build ID: 20090401043706; at least I think it is such, but the only testing I've done is to disable TMP and restart Shiretoko:

When Shiretoko starts, the only tab that loads, instead of just showing up with my option to "Show a blank page" tries to load something. That is, the tab shows that it is loading, but never finishes. If, while that is happening, I click on anything else, a second tab opens, and the first one finishes "loading".

If I then click on the first tab, the URL box clearly indicates that it is a blank tab, and the close-tab `x' becomes visible.

Disable TMP, restart Shiretoko, first tab loads properly; reenable TMP, restart, problem reappears.

Odd behavior just started with today's Shiretoko update, one that has quite a few changes as shown by the relevant MozillaZine thread; I'd not be surprised if one or more of those changes caused the TMP problem.

The April 1st build you mention includes the landing of bug 480148-Restore visible tabs first when restoring session that breaks TMP. This has been broken on the minefield trunk for a while. The TMP devs should be aware of it and hopefully fix it in the next TMP version due to be released soon.

I alerted Gary and onemen about this when it landed on Trunk way back when. More recently, onemen posted that he hoped to have a new dev version of TMP by the end of March. I guess all we can do is keep our fingers crossed.

A workaround is to not have your browser set to restore your windows and tabs from last time. I've set mine to load my home page which I have set to my gmail login page. If you have it set to restore from last time, the new browser session restore and TMP interfere with each other and you can only open a new tab and close any and all other tabs.

TMP Session restore still working for me - updating shiretoko nightly....

I *do* have native session restore disabled, though....

_________________

I can confirm the inability to restore closed tabs in TMP 0.3.7.4 pre.090107 from both undo closed tab and closed tab list.

I can also confirm the constant loading of first tab when FF opens up.


One other thing that I've noticed is this:

I frequently will click on a link, hold my mouse button down and drag it to my tab bar to open it in a new tab so that the originating tab stays as is. In FF 3.6a1pre, I can no longer do this. When I drag the tab to the tab bar, the originating tab loads the link that I dragged to the tab bar and the link I dragged loads as a new tab as well.

I really miss having full functionality of TMP. Please update soon!

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1b4pre) Gecko/20090402 Shiretoko/3.5b4pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) - Build ID: 20090402045633

New, odd problem: With this release, I have found that I need to disable both TMP and the Print Hint extension in order for Private Browsing to work.

With Print Hint disabled and with TMP enabled, I do get the pop-up asking if I want to use Private Browsing, but then the first tab never loads, so I suspect that this part of the problem is related to the "Restore visible tabs first" problem; I don't recall having tried using Private Browsing yesterday, so don't know for certain if that part of the problem started with yesterday's Shiretoko update.

I do know, however, that Private Browsing worked at least two days ago, so the Print Hint part of the problem seems to be related to either yesterday's or today's Shiretoko update.

Print Hint is at http://www.ruadesign.org/firefox/

That oddity found, I then found that Shiretoko does not want to enter my user name for logging on to TMP automatically. I've not tried to track down what might be causing that.

(As I am a retired fire chief, I guess that Private Browsing is below my rank...).

John,

Likely due to the bug landing that Harlequin99 and I posted about. It landed in the 20090401 Shiretoko nightly. It deals with a revision to the browser's session restore that has rendered TMP incompatible with it.

We are all anxiously awaiting Gary and onemen to fix TMP. Hopefully, it won't be too much longer.

Ray: I'm aware of that, which is why I quoted the specific bug in my message, and which was discussed by me and got at least one answer yesterday.

However, I do wonder why, suddenly, my user name and password stopped being entered automatically for TMP (that worked yesterday), but, when I was reading your reply, I clicked on "Profile" at the top of the forum, which took me to the TMP log-on page, where I found my user name and password entered automatically.

It is clearly time to start a new conspiracy blog....

[Chuckle, chuckle: All it took was for me to threaten to create a new conspiracy blog, whereupon my user name and password started being entered automatically once again. Weird.]

I actually use the Session Manager extension to handle all session-related activities (and use TMP for tab functionality). I am seeing this problem where all tabs spin forever upon loading a session. Do you think it's a TMP or SM problem? I don't doubt a change in the nightly would break both, just wondering which extension I have to monitor for a fix.

As of the 20090330 Shiretoko nightly, closed tabs can no longer be reopened when any Tab Mix Plus load is installed (including the 0.3.4.7pre090107 load). Also sometimes they aren't saved either.

See this post for the reason why and possible work arounds.

Thanks for the info, Morac, and good work on that patch.

On an unrelated note (I think), in the last few weeks closing a tab has acted differently for me. I have it set to "last selected tab", but now it often focuses the one to the right of the closed tab. Anyone have any idea why this would suddenly change?

Thanks, reid

the removetab method was changed lately

i will fix this soon

Thanks, onemen, much appreciated.

I can not undo closed tabs and the icon of undo closed tabs is grey.

The founction is lost.

Can confirm last post. Undo doesn't work. Please fix it

Hi, I cannot get the nightly Firefox build to enter Private Browsing mode with TMP enable.

My Firefox version:

Latest available using 'Check for update' feature when the time of posting.

Not sure if it is related, but since the landing of Bug #480148 - Restore visible tabs first when restoring session, TMP and both Branch aka Shiretoko and Trunk aka Minefield have many functional incompatibilities. Most, I believe, are known to TMP authors. Based on other information, they are working on fixing TMP dev version to, again, be functionally compatible with each developmental browser.

Many of us have been patiently awaiting the revised version of TMP. Come on in, join the crowd, sit down, put your feet up and stay awhile.

(I wish there was a pipe or cigar smoking emoticon. It would be perfect to add at the end with the cool or made-in-the-shade and laughing ones. )
