Everything works just fine, just when click on link to open new tab, it is supposed to open in the back ground, but it doesnt.

Have checked the settings but find they all say open in back ground anyway.

Where or what am i likely to be missing ?


its a pain having a nw tab take over the screen while at work.

ideas or remedies appreciated.

272034 2004-09-13 12:11:00 Hi Beama,

Sorry to butt in on your post Beetle, but I had tried to do that too.
But in tools>options>browsing I don't have "open links in background".

have Firefox v0.9.3 with Noia theme.

Strange. But I can't help you Beetle, at all, sorry.

I did click the + to enlarge the menu.

- hide taskbar when only one website open.= ticked
- select new tabs opened from links. unchecked
- use autoscrolling = ticked
- use smooth scrolling = ticked

272039 2004-09-13 13:14:00 Just updated both of my versions of Firefox on Win98SE and Win2K Pro to the latest version ie 0.6.8, and both are working fine.

There are plenty of extra options for tabs.

In Firefox go to tools/options/general and stretch the window a little by left clicking and dragging at the bottom to reveal the Tabbed Browsing Options or else you will be fooled and not realize where they are, and then make your choices.

Hope this helps.

... under the Links tab make sure the first options is set for New tab unfocussed and the other New tab. Also put a tick in the /Stay in background when loading links.

That should fix it. ;-)
