Are you sure about that Susan? You didn't install a tabscroller or something did you?

Umm, well.......

Yeah, now that you mention it there is a TabScroller extension in there. :8}

So that is what it does. :p :D

My Firebird does that as well, and I don't have a tabscroller extension. Certainly comes in handy - however my mouse with the KVM switch occassionally loses the plot, and its favourite latest trick is to spontaneously start scrolling through the tabs at an uncontrollable fast speed - looks very spectacular when you had 10+ tabs open at the time :D. Nothing short of killing Firebird completely (and sometimes KDE) will restore order!

I think we just contradicted each other :D

I definitely don't have the TabScroller extension.

184704 2003-10-21 07:38:00 OK, got my curiosity here so I took a look at my settings and that function is also available as part of the Tabbrowser Preferences > Tabs Bar. An option is to "Switch tabs by scrolling the mouse wheel" which I have selected. Jen C (20)

Heh, I have that feature enabled as well so when I disable the TabScroller extension I can still use the mouse wheel to scroll through the tabs. I don't think I need TabScroller now. :D

Sometimes I go through all these options ticking the ones that look interesting without having a clue what they do, then I have to figure out how all these marvellous little tricks occur. :p
