you cant if you have many tabs openMcInfo wrote:what's wrong with double-clicking the tab bar?
Well, I don't want your menu bar to take space of my screen. That's why it should be either removable or not present at allJenk wrote:I don't want an "all in one" button I want my menu bar.
I love that feature, its easier than double clicking and some people never knew of that option to open multiple tabs until this.McInfo wrote:That's what I was wondering. It seems to me that Firefox is starting to take design cues from Internet Explorer. Firefox 3.5 added the irremovable and superfluous Open a new tab button to the tab bar (what's wrong with double-clicking the tab bar?) and removed the Close Tab button from the final tab. Now they're monkeying with the menu bar? I dislike all of these design choices.Jenk wrote:What is it with this obsession with hiding menu bars?
But then we have to develop for more browsersmatthijs wrote:This is why it is so good that there are more good browsers to choose from nowadays. Opera, Firefox, Safari, you can pick the one you like most
That's ridiculous. Who is that stupid? No offense to anyone who is in fact...that stupid.phphat wrote:I love that feature, its easier than double clicking and some people never knew of that option to open multiple tabs until this.
I find that Firefox, Konqueror, Safari and Opera generally display stuff pretty similarly. It's only IE that makes up a new standard for each version.jaoudestudios wrote:Because none of them stick to a standard!
Yes you are right, it is IE who keeps making up a new standard for each release - without starting a browser war...WTF is microsoft playing at????. Unfortunately, FF is not too far behind. There are some major bugs in v3 & v3.5 - ajax requests error out randomly, memory leaks, which adds to more crashes...chrome seems to be winning this race at the moment, the only thing keeping FF in there are the plugins that are available. When chrome gets that side finally sorted, the rest of the browsers better watch out?!?!jackpf wrote:I find that Firefox, Konqueror, Safari and Opera generally display stuff pretty similarly.

That annoyed me too. Stylish can sort that out. Install it, create a new style (call it whatever you want) then paste this into it:McInfo wrote:I wouldn't be so agitated over the Open a new tab button if there was an easy way to disable it. And I must confess that I do use it frequently.
