Problem with FF24 and getBrowser().addTab

Good addon

Works very well on FF24
I have only a problem
I have several selfmade button like this:
getBrowser().addTab ("http://www.google.com/");
And when i use it FastDial it don't close himself
On my old FF18 it works perfectly
How can i solve?
Thanks

Open Firefox menu Web Developer > Browser Console - a console window opens. Then try to close the page and see if any errors appear in console.

Whit WEB developer and Error console i have no error...

It seems to me that Fast Dial don't see getBrowser().addTab event

For me is enough something like this

if CURRENT TAB is FAST DIAL then
getBrowser().loadURI ("http://www.google.it");
else
getBrowser(). addTab ("http://www.google.it");

Can you help me?
Thanks

Well, in fact Fast Dial intercepts gBrowser.addTab() function and if addTab() is called with "about:newtab" or "about: blank" parameter, then replaces this parameter with "chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html" value in order for Fast Dial page to be opened in new tabs. However Fast Dial tries to do this very correctly and I'm not sure why problem occurs.

To identify if current tab is Fast Dial, you can try the following code:

var doc = getBrowser().contentDocument;
if (doc.location == "chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html") { ... }

See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Code_snippets/Tabbed_browser

Yess
Works!

var doc = getBrowser().contentDocument;
if (doc.location == "chrome://fastdial/content/fastdial.html") {
getBrowser().loadURI (" ");
} else {
getBrowser().addTab (" ");
}

Very very well!
Thanks!!!
