[DE]Momaw Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) I use tabbed web browsing, which isn't uncommon at all nowadays...What's strange about me is that I put my tabs on the SIDE rather than the TOP. I use an addon for firefox that further customizes the experience by letting me use tab trees, that is, tabs are organized in a relational way depending how they are opened. So when you see something like this: It's immediately obvious how all of the open tabs relate to eachother. When I open a link with a middle click it opens in a new tab, which is assigned as a child of the tab it opened from. Neat. Tidy. Or, that was the way it worked yesterday. Now thanks to some recent auto-updated magic that never asked for my permission to break stuff, middle click is opening links as a new top level item and appending to the end of the tree, instead of making the new tab a child. The relationship of tabs to eachother is completely destroyed. To get the functionality that is now basically a reflexive action, I have to right click and then choose "open in new tab". Small issue. MASSIVE IRRITATION. Edited April 5, 2015 by Momaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

egregiousRac Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) That sounds infuriating. I wonder why middle click and right click->open in new tab are treated differently... I have been having a loosely similar issue. About a month ago the dev build of Chrome got an update that broke default scale on some pages. This includes the standard view image page. Even at maximum page zoom it is still far smaller than it should be. This forces me to copy the links into my firefox install if I need to read text on an image.

[DE]Momaw Posted April 5, 2015 Author Share Posted April 5, 2015 That sounds infuriating. I wonder why middle click and right click->open in new tab are treated differently... Apparently firefox version 37 broke it, and the newer version of Tree Tabs that fixes it is not set to update because it's not been reviewed by mozilla. :| Whatever. Works fine. Sanity restored. o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point even the menu button looks identical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
