firefox stop pissing me off

a common use case of my daily routine before firefox 3 appeared on sid:

  • open liferea

  • open evolution

  • open iceweasel (aka firefox)

  • open emacs

  • put music with emms

  • while unread_items > 0, read the interesting items of the feeds loaded in liferea, and click in the interesting links

  • read the mail, and if somebody sent me a link, then follow it

  • check all the links opened in iceweasel


a common use case of my daily routing after firefox 3
  • open liferea

  • open evolution

  • open iceweasel

  • open emacs

  • put music with emms

  • while unread_items > 0, read the interesting items of the feeds loaded in liferea, click in the interesting links, minimize firefox to return the focus to liferea

  • read the mail, and if somebody sent me a link, then follow it, minimize the firefox to return the focus to evolution

  • check all the links opened in iceweasel
do you see the pattern?, if that is pissing you off too, then go to about:config and set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true

hi there,
first of all thank you very much i had been looking for a solution to that ff3 behaviour for a long time. I have aquestion tho, the thing is that when i click on an interesting link in liferea firefox doesn't focus anymore, right, but i'd like the new tab to be focused within firefox, internally, so i can see in the program list on my desktop panel wether i clicked on it or not.
gracias!

that can be done with
Edit > Preferences > Tabs

and enable the option 'When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it inmediately'

de nada! :D

i'm the same anónimo again,
activating that option in the firefox preferences doesn't work as expected, i mean, it does focus on the new tab when you are already navigating udner firefox but it does not in case you are reading news on liferea. if you happen to find a solution, here i'll be :)

muchas gracias de todas formas ;D
