Hawks Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Sometimes (rather, a lot of times), when I scroll (at least I think; not sure what causes it, generally does it while I'm scrolling or switching tabs/programs/windows) Firefox takes the current tab and moves it to a new window. Not having a ton of free RAM to do so willy-nilly, (plus it's pointless and annoying) I'd like to disable this feature if possible. Can someone tell me how to do so, or point me to an add-on which disables it? I'm using Firefox 3.5 on Windows 2000. EDIT: Also I randomly get times where FF will not shut any tabs and I have to restart it to not have excessive amounts of tabs open. Is there a way to fix this/is it a known problem? sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VEGHATERMEATLOVER Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I've never had that problem (Firefox 3.0 windows XP). so it could be something related to windows 2000.Maybe its a mis-click or something?sorry for not giving that much help.

Siobhana Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I have the exact same problem now and then but unfortunately I got no idea what triggers it. I can't even find a pattern to it. So any ideas and I'll be eternally grateful. Ty Jeppoz for making it. Thx to the Pup for finding it after it got lost :D And thx to Kill_Life and Turtle for the ava.

Hawks Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 If it helps diagnose the problem at all, I noticed that it's especially triggered when you scroll up and down quickly with the mouse pointer on the bar, also I think it happens more if I'm loading other tabs or the current tab. When using the scroll wheel I don't have a problem. sig by Soa.....tip.it times.....art & mediadeviantart/flickr/last.fm/steam/twitter/tumblr/youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sbrideau Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Looks to me like Firefox 3.5.* still has some bugs, which I find weird because of what they usually do to not have bugs. Anyway, still on Firefox 3 here and never had any of those problems. I could recommend downgrading to that version of Firefox until the problem is found.

Gandorf61 Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I found the tearing of tabs into new windows to be an annoyance as well and installed this ad-on to disable the feature. Also I randomly get times where FF will not shut any tabs and I have to restart it to not have excessive amounts of tabs open. Is there a way to fix this/is it a known problem?I haven't had this happen before so I'm not quite sure what causes it. Hope the ad-on at least helps you somewhat. :) Pyramid Plunder Guide Tip.it Forum Rules Adventurer's LogThanks to Cowboy14 for the awesome sig!
