Tabs Not Working
Anonymous (not verified) —Mon, 12/01/2008 - 21:49
Whenever I open a new tab, it comes up blank, but then when I type an address in and hit enter, nothing happens. I have to keep going to google & typing in the address, then clicking on the link to get it to work. Help?

Thanks for you post.
It seems you have a number of problems

I am a little unclear in your description if when you use the word Tab, if you are referring to the appearance of Fast Dial in a New Tab or to the functioning of your cells in Fast Dial.
Please can you help clarify this.

Regarding Tabs
There are different settings regarding Tabs.
In Tools/Options/Tabs have you got setting to never hiding the Tabs.
There is also the setting
When I open a Link in a New Tab switch to it immediately
Have you got that selected
---
In Fast Dial there are also two settings in Preferences regarding New Tab.
Open in New Tab
and show Fast Dial in New tabs.
Have you got those set?
---
If you click on the Fast Dial Toolbar Button on the Toolbar, or you go Ctrl T, does the Root Folder of Fast Dial appear ?
-----------------------------------
but then when I type an address in and hit enter, nothing happens
Not clear either from your description whether you are unable to enter and save a URL into the URL field of the Properties Menu of a cell, or whether you are referring to the functioning of the Address Bar in Firefox
Please could you help clarify this.
Thank you

Regarding your Fast Dial, I am unclear if it appears when you open Firefox or not, and whether you have access to the Root Folder and the cells in Fast Dial or not.
By the way which Version of Fast Dial you using ?
Many thanks

I had the same problem on the machine of my wife.
I put a picture and URL into the settings, but I pressing OK didn't work. The settings are not taken. I used the latest fastdial version (downloaded it on 29.11.2008) Is it also a problem with the latest Java 6u10?
Kind regards,
Matthias

Like you know how you can open tabs at the top of the page so you can switch between different sites without opening a new window? Those. So if I hit ctrl + T, and then type the address in the bar, it won't take me to the site. It just keeps refreshing blank. I have to go to google and type it in (i have the search engine in the toolbar at the top), and then click on the website when it comes up searched on google. Umm I have version 2.9 My friend sent me it lol

try clearing firefox Cache and Offline Website Data
no guarantees, but youd be surprised as to how many issues that can sometimes solve.
