Quick Tab-Switch feature missing! - FF3.5b99

Post by Panarchy »

Hi

The quick Tab Switch feature is missing!

[Click on a tab, then use arrow button on the keyboard]

Please put this feature back in!!!

Thanks in advance,

Panarchy

PS: Or should I write this up on bugzilla?

It was removed on purpose, see: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=462289

If you've got your search bar, you can do CTRL + K to focus it, then TAB should focus your current tab (assuming it's next in the focus cycle).

Would have been made a duplicate so it is a good thing you asked.

^Thx!

Arghh... but I like the feature!!!

:o

Whether on Windows, Mac or Linux, that is one feature I love of Firefox.

Where can I request for it to be an enable/disable feature?

try putting this in your userChrome.css:

Code: Select all

.tabbrowser-tab[selected="true"] {
  -moz-user-focus: normal !important;
}

Thank you dao-g! I wanted this for a long time since it was removed.

If I remove [selected="true"] it still works. But in theory if I remove the code will I gain performance or lose performance?

[selected="true"] is a workaround for bug 417904. I don't know if it's still needed.

Try removing [selected="true"].

Code: Select all

.tabbrowser-tab {
  -moz-user-focus: normal !important;
}

With 3.5.2 removing it seems to do the trick.

It's not working for me either. I updated to Firefox 3.5 earlier and it's been bugging me ever since.

Anyone know of any add ons or anything that might help? I thought it was really handy tbh :S

.tabbrowser-tab
{

}

Works for me on the Linux nightly trunk build. Though the [selected="true"] part is probably still needed in Firefox 3.5.x

Have you tried adding this to a new profile?

[selected="true"] might in fact not be a workaround. If you leave it out, what happens when focusing the search bar and pressing TAB?
