TBE is an awesome extension that I’ve been using for months. Made me a very happy FF user. Also, stroker, thanks for the keyword thing. I didn’t even know it was there. VERY nice. Where can one pick up other little tips like this?
Tabbrowser Preferences is like a “light” version of TBE (less bloat and doesn’t noticeably slow your browser the way TBE does) and it has an option to put the tab bar on the bottom.
As an aside, my understanding is that the Mozilla folks apparently aren’t terribly happy with the way that TBE hooks into the browser code. Ah, technology…
For bonus points you can actually give ARGUMENTS to the keywords, like for a custom search engine shortcut. F’rinstance, Dark Age of Camelot’s official web server has a player lookup feature, the URLs are of the form
cool. although tbe did tell the extension that added an X to the tabs to go screw itself…
couldn’t get the tab bar to go to the bottom with the Tabbrowser Preferences mentioned above. how do you do it? (was using 1.1.1, got it off the default site of ‘tools > extensions > get more extensions’)
Tools > Options > Tabbed Browsing > Tabbrowser Extensions Configuration > Appearance > Tab Bar > Position of the Tab Bar (you can set it to the bottom here).
thanks! how about this: when i open a blank new tab the new tab has “undefined” in it and annoying firefox tries to go there. sometimes it goes to undefined.cc which is some sort of blog. is this junk from my other extensions?
Very helpful, extarbags…I don’t see an option in TBE right now to open a new window on middle-button click, but you can right click and do the “open in new window” thing.
It won’t be in TBE. If it exists, it will be somewhere in the regular Firefox config (or in another extension, conceivably), but TBE only includes functionality for tabs.
That’s why I don’t know where that option is (as I haven’t used more than on browser window by choice in a few years now), despite being almost positive that it’s there somewhere.
