#Firefox popups that take over code
I think we want it to be transient for everything else, but web extensions load content in iframes in the popup, so if those iframes have a file input (the only way to get the user to give those popups access to a file, given webextension limitations), opening the 'open file' dialog then closes the popup, which kills the anchor of the file input and its document, which means the code in the frame never gets the file. > that isn't transient, then use noautohide. > No, the popup should close when you open another window. Or not, whichever you prefer.(In reply to Neil Deakin from comment #4) If one of those tasks requires several pages to be open at a time, then they can each get their own tab. So? If you have three different tasks that rely on three different browsers, open them in unique windows. I get my mouse, and they get their keyboards. Emacs/vi/cli users tend to believe its a hinderance. I find using a mouse increases my productivity.
#Firefox popups that take over windows
What difference does it make if tabs exist or not? Nobody is forcing you to use them.if you don't want tabs, just open pages in new windows like you always do. I much prefer to have each project I'm working on appear on my taskbar individually. According to your logic, if I was working on two different projects in MSVC++, I'd only have one task bar button and would have to navigate between the projects within a single MSVC++ parent window. Those different source files are all part of the same project, so grouping them in one task button makes sense. I mean, just imagine what would happen, if MSVC++ opened a new task button for every source file you loaded into the editor, instead of putting them into its own tab bar. Neither has anything to do with the other. If I'm doing research about a certain application on one website, managing a web-application on another, and taking part in a discussion on a third website, those are three different tasks. To the OS, they may be the same task, but I'm not the OS. Those three webpages are different tasks, to me. I may be working in three webpages at a time, doing different things. If I temporarily minimize the webbrowser, I expect everything except the minimized browser application to go away, and not to have 15+ minimized windows cluttering up my taskbar. Abusing the taskbar for web navigation purposes (and this is what switching between web pages is) is confusing and impractical - especially if you have 15+ browser windows open. Web pages are no tasks, they are a part of the browser application. Besides, even tabbed browsing won't be very helpful in managing 30 different browser windows.Īnyway, I doubt a large percentage of users, especially home users, really has a need for tabbed browsing.īecause, as the name implies, the taskbar is to switch tasks.
Certainly people with over 30 windows open at the same time are in the extreme minority.
I personally have about five or six windows open at any moment, and I think I'm part of the large majority in that respect. I can see the point of tabbed browsing if you indeed have lots of windows open at the same time. Quote: Original post by WiseElbenAlso, I have other programs running, and finding the right one is a pain, especially when the tiles get so small you can only see the first three letters of the title. Err, because the task bar is all the way down there?
