Configure tabbed browsing in Firefox

Firefox users can configure their tabbed browsing experience by using the about:config command in the address bar. An easier way than to change the settings directly using the above mentioned method is to use a extension that displays them neatly in the options for faster and better access.

The extension Tabbrowser Preferences adds the menu entry Tabbed Browsing to the Firefox options. The extension can alter the appearance and behavior in Firefox directly - it contains five tabs, namely: Links, User Interface, Display Options, Features and Tab Focus.

• Links - Defines how links are handled, ie. if a new tab is opened for internal / external links, how javascript popups are handled and a option to force all left clicks to open in a new tab.
• User Interface - This one defines how new tabs are handled. You can specify that the new tab option opens a blank page, the homepage or the current webpage.
• Display Options - Set values for the minimum width of the tabs, if Firefox should disable the tab bar if only one tab is open. It is also possible to move the tab bar to the bottom of Firefox and disable the close button for tabs that are not in focus.
• Features - Handles warnings and sets values when warnings shall appear.
• Tab Focus - Sets the load and mouse / tab focus.
