Right click on an empty part of the web page you are on (or on the Tab). You should get a context menu with the time interval options. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34845 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 11:54:37 +0000 billbonza 34845@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Well, i click on the options and nothing happens. I expected a "reload every x seconds" option or something. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34818 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:38:57 +0000 Lighthouse 34818@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>billbonza, what is puzzling you about Reload every....? </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34817 Tue, 15 Jul 2008 08:34:23 +0000 billbonza 34817@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for your suggestions </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34768 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:30:11 +0000 ScottW 34768@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Here is a Firefox help entry that talks about it:<br /> <a href='http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+Window#Tabs_span_style_text_align_left_float_none_clear_none_class_win_Options_span_span_style_text_align_left_float_none_clear_none_class_noWin_Preferences_span_'>http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+Window#Tabs_span_style_text_align_left_float_none_clear_none_class_win_Options_span_span_style_text_align_left_float_none_clear_none_class_noWin_Preferences_span_</a></p> <p>In Options -&gt; Tabs, check <em>When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately</em>, then:<br /> "When you middle-click on a Web link (or hold down Ctrl while clicking with the left mouse button), the page will be opened in a new tab." </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34767 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:27:04 +0000 yobar 34767@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Clicking middle mouse/mousewheel opens a bookmark in a new tab in FF3 for me. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34766 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:03:47 +0000 billbonza 34766@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Doesnt seem to work for ff3. I'll keep trying. Anyone use the "reload every.." add on? Thats puzzling me too. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34764 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 19:00:41 +0000 Lighthouse 34764@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>You are absolutely right ScottW. I had to Google that to find it. I could find nothing within FF that mentioned it.<br /> Edit. In about:config, mine is (default)<br /> middlemouse.openNewWindow </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34762 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:42:08 +0000 ScottW 34762@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I believe the default behavior for a middle mouse button click is open link/bookmark in a new tab. It works for me and I don't have any tab add-ons, nor do I recall setting this.</p> <p>EDIT: it's the same in FF2 and FF3 </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34761 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:38:30 +0000 Lighthouse 34761@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>I am using FF2, and there is nothing in "about:config" that would let you do that. If you are using FF3, it may be different. </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34758 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:22:49 +0000 Lighthouse 34758@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>Yep. Get Tab Mix Plus. (you'll wonder what you ever did without it) :) </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34757 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:19:33 +0000 billbonza 34757@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>gotta be a way </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34755 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:06:58 +0000 Lighthouse 34755@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>For sure with Tab Mix Plus. I'll disable that and try for you.<br /> OK tried it (with Smart Bookmarks enabled, and Tab Mix Plus disabled). In a word, No :( </p> http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/firefox-tabs#post-34751 Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:44:11 +0000 billbonza 34751@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ <p>is there a way to make a bookmark open automatically in a new tab? (im using the smart bookmarks bar add on) currently im right clicking them to open in a new tab. ive looked at the firefox section on the geeks home page. </p>
