Locking/freezing a tab??
The old TMP allowed me to stop a tab from being overwritten. Is there any current way of doing that?

Do you mean built-in? I think Pinned tabs are the closest thing.

Thanks, jscher, but pinned tabs are not the answer I've been using pinned tabs since the inception of Fx quantum. Pinned tabs work very well for me until they've been unintentionally overwritten

How do they get overwritten?

As I said, they're unintentionally overwritten. Have you never unintentionally loaded another page into a tab?

Sometimes I forget to hold down the Ctrl key when clicking something that I meant to send to a different tab and it opens in the current tab. Does that problem affect pinned tabs? It's not supposed to.

Re: Locking/freezing a tab??
Yes, that's what I'm referencing. My pinned tabs don't "protect" the pages that are pinned; the pinning only stops me from deleting the pinned tabs. If that's not what is supposed to happen, then my pinnings are "behaving badly" (and if that behavior could be changed, I'd like to know how--that in fact is the point of the question with which I started this thread).
