Does someone know how to make a button that toggles between "Open tabs (links) in foreground" and "Open tabs in background"?
Or maybe another extension that has a button/contextmenu option for this function?
I spent hours searching for it but couldn't find it.

Are you wanting:

To toggle between 2 specific tabs.
Rotate through the open tab list.
Toggle Open tabs with the list of Closed Tabs.

I ask because, the concept of toggle and your reference to multiple tabs are in conflict, as toggle assumes a binary choice. (Not a flame.) This is more of a radio button situation.
Also I am not getting how a button would improve over the tabs themselves as interface mechanisms.

That said, here are some links to consider:

If these help.

Not toggle between tabs, toggle foreground or background. Here is a one line script to put on the command that should work.

var pref=navigator.preference('browser.tabs.loadInBackground'); if (pref) {navigator.preference('browser.tabs.loadInBackground', false);alert('Load In Foreground')}else if (!pref) {navigator.preference('browser.tabs.loadInBackground', true);alert('Load In Background')}

Thanks max1million, that works perfectly. Just what I was looking for.

That's right, Custom Buttons has been removed from the addons site. I sure hope this extension doesn't fall by the wayside. I really do hope that someone decides to pickup on development. It looks to me as though Yan is not really actively developing any longer.....

Squeaky, You kindly replied to my post on 6 August (page 26), but I've only just found it. In the interim I found a solution, but not as concise as yours. The code you gave me:

/*CODE*/
const url = "http://www.google.com/"
window.open(url);

works fine (of course), but opens a new window (of course).

How do I get it to open in a new TAB ? I'm assuming that 'tab.open(url)' isn't valid JS ?

old nicholas.alipaz · April 21st, 2007, 5:33 pm

Code: Select all

const url = "http://www.google.com/"
loadURI(url);

BTW, there are tons more buttons now on The Custom Buttons Forum and there is a button that can make other buttons to do the task you are asking about.

Thank you. I've taken a quick look. It seems to be a complete life-style. I prefer the KISS approach, although I'm sure I'll find some useful buttons as time goes on.

Should work.
