October 19, 200916 yr 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
October 19, 200916 yr 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.
October 19, 200916 yr 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.

October 19, 200916 yr Author 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
October 19, 200916 yr 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.
October 19, 200916 yr 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!
