Firefox users: Do you like the new Tab behavior in v 3.6?

[gomarc]

If you are a fan user of the Firefox browser, you may have notice that since version 3.6, when you open a new Tab from a link, they appear next to the current tab and not to the right of the last tab as it was up to version 3.5.

The idea is to keep similar Tabs together and this poll is about that, do you like this change?

I honestly don’t like it that much so I changed this behavior to the way it used to be.

Here’s how:

In the Location bar, type about:config and press Enter.
Search for: browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent.
Double click in the value so it changes to False.

It's irritating, because I always click the wrong tab now

I like the new behaviour. However, I'm not adapted to it yet and I clic the wrong tab sometimes XD

 

[alexandgruntz]

I'm neutral on this. Sometimes it's great, as I like to keep related tabs together. Other times it's annoying. So I've left it at the default for now.

 

[joejv4]

it doesn't really matter to me. It will take a little readjustment so that I click on the right tab, only because I'm used to the old behavior, but I give it a week or two and it will seem like second nature.

 

[jtwhite]

I like this new behavior.

I had to get used to the new behavior of the tabs at first but I do like the way it works. Helps to keep things organized when I'm researching things.

This is a bit off topic, but I think Chrome and IE are the best browsers ( too bad there's no IE for Linux). That's because after you turn off all the unnecessary toolbars, u get the greatest viewing area. So as soon as Firefox get their navigation/options/address bars to half the size that they are, I'll start using it again.

I don't like this kind of behavior cos I'm used to a previous one. That's why I use Opera. In Opera you can choose the way your tabs work.

Let users decide, that's the best way.

It's the same behaviour as IE. It makes sense.

 

[eliasr]

All is, adaptation...

Moot point if you have a large monitor. Also, see this.

 

[garikr]

To: alexandgruntz, Large monitor does not necessarily mean larger resolution. Plus most of the monitors are widescreen now, so adding more useless junk to the top, does not help a bit. That's why Chrome and IE rulezzzz. Plus Opera got some issues with resizing, and it looks goofy, and it's name is 'opera'. That's just my oppinion

the news tabs are pretty cool and it helps a lot giving us a better navigation.

 

[sidhosti]

thank for the tip, i hated the new way the tabs work

 

[Twinkie]

Sometimes I don't like it because I often don't pay attention to the position of the tab I am on, which makes it difficult. But it does make more logical sense and I am sure I will like it better when I get used to it.
