Firefox Tab Options

RickJ · #1 Mar 31, 2006, 06:31 AM

Dog-gonnit. I too frequently fat finger "close other tabs" when I meant to click "close tab" - or vice versa - since they're right next to each other!

Is there any way to change the order of the options shown when I right click on a tab?

Thanks!!

I recommend the Tabbrowser Preferences extension:

I already have that extension installed, but none of the options at
Tools > Options > Tabbed Browsing let me say what order I want the options in.

Am I looking in the wrong place?

I'm writing this in Firefox with Tabbrowser Preferences and I don't see anyhting that says "close other tabs". I close tabs by either selecting the correct tab clicking on the "X" in the little red square on the right hand side, or hover my cursor over the tab to be closed and middle-click (or click down on mouse wheel).

Odd, then. I'm using Tabbrowser Preferences 1.2.8.8...and when I right click on a tab, I have these options:

New Tab
Reload Tab
Reload All Tabs
Close Other Tabs
Close Tab
Bookmark This Tab
Bookmark All Tabs, and
Lock Tab.

Would you look at that, now that you show where it is I see that option.

I never close tabs like that, sorry. I doubt that you can arrange the order that the right-click selections appear. After re-reading your original question you specifically said right-click on the tab - I'll remove myself now.

LOL rick (and NK) dump Tabbrowser preferences and go get Tabbrowser Extensions instead. (just google it as the d/l site is in Japan)
I've tried loads of Tab extensions and found this to be utterly amazing !!!

Hmmm.... I see that warnign all over this page. Is it worth it?

Yeah, I saw the warnings on that one in particular is why I asked...wondering if Curly were referring to a different one.
