Rebuilding TBE's featureset with other plugins, II

[Kitefighter]

Be sure to have

Code: Select all

#content tab{-moz-appearance: none !important;}

on top of that codeblock

[Cesa]

Except for the progressbar there are only two features TBE have that I used that I haven't found replacements for:

-New tab opens to the right of the current tab, instead of furthest to the right
-Link right click menu now shows "Open in new window" and "Open in new tab" instead of TBE's "Open in new active tab" and "Open in new background tab" (or something like it)

Are there some other extensions that can do this for me?

I noticed a great speed improvement when disabling TBE btw.

to open just right to the current tab you can use MiniT+

[Cesa]

I do, how do I enable the option, or am I using the wrong version?

Forgot one thing, is there an extension that gives me the context menu option "close right/left tabs"?

[sboulema]

MiniT+: Tools->Extensions->MiniT->Options, check the checkbox "open tabs next to current"

[Cesa]

"Options" is disabled, guess I have the wrong version..

You can close the current tab by clicking the white-on-red "X" at the right end of the tab bar. If the rightmost tab is not visible, make it current by selecting the leftmost tab and then hitting Shift-Ctrl-Tab (Ctrl-Tab and Shift-Ctrl-Tab select the tab immediately left or right of the current tab in round-robin fashion.)

minipouss/sboulema: I was using MiniT, not MiniT+, that was the problem, thanks.

tonymec: I'm not sure I understand a word of what you're saying What I want is the context options "Close right tabs" and "Close left tabs". If I have 10 tabs open, and #6 is the current, choosing "Close right tabs" should close tabs #7-10 automatically, without repeating a shortcut and clicking for each tab (if that was what you were suggesting)

[tonymec]

Ah, you mean all from current (excluded) to the end of the bar! I thought you meant to close one tab by position, either right/left of current or rightmost/leftmost of all, I wasn't sure. (And BTW, with many tabs open, more than 30 when maximized on my 1024x768 screen, less than that if you make the browser window narrower, the rightmost tab[s] stop being visible, so making them current or closing them becomes something of a challenge.)

On my current installation, the only way to close more than one tab (without closing the browser window) is Right-click-tab -> Close other tabs, which will close all non-current tabs, so it doesn't answer your question. Sorry I can't help you.

I've been having TBE put the tabbar down the left side, since I find that easier to use with large numbers of tabs (they don't get squished). Any other way to do this?

I finally gave up with TBE as it broke firefox when opening external links when there was no firefox open at the time. I immediately noticed how much faster it was without TBE too

Only thing now that I need is middle clicking a link opens in a background tab, so if anyone knows how to get that without TBE then thanks

(Also, is there a way to disable the 'new tab' button on the tab bar in TBP?)

[tbrownaw]

It's in Tabbrowser Preferences, under "Tab Focus"

I made the same experience.

(Also, is there a way to disable the 'new tab' button on the tab bar in TBP?)

Type about:config in the location bar and set this line to false:
extensions.tabprefs.showTabButton
see: http://www.pryan.org/mozilla/site/TheOneKEA/tabprefs/


If I have a blank tab open and middle-click on a link, it will open in a new tab, not in the blank tab. I know it from TBE, that the link would be opened in the blank tab. Can I have this behaviour without TBE?

That, or install Tab-X extension, which puts the close X button on every tab for you.

I already have it, but that still requires one click per tab.
