Glad to learn that you both find it useful.

"Doesn't overwrite original images, although it can be forced to do that if desired."  ... this works as far as I know only if you purchase the product and is disabled on the free version.

Sorry about that

General Software Discussion / Re: Firefox 4, Tab Mix Plus, middle-mouse click not recognized

« Last post by cranioscopical on March 27, 2011, 10:55 PM »

i normally use middle-click to open in new tabs so i haven't tried this yet but have you checked this option in Tab Mix Plus?

-lanux128 (March 27, 2011, 09:12 PM)

Thanks for the help.
No, that setting didn't help — it's what I used to use to get what I like 
So, I went to the dev build, and that page in TMP options is now quite different 
After some fiddling around I now have middle-click/left-click working in reverse of the way that I prefer. After the first two or three thousand habitual mistakes I'll get the hang of it 

@housetier: I toggled the setting you mentioned but that didn't seem to do anything. Restarted etc.
Toggled it back and now I have middle-click working. Beats me, but thanks.

Thanks again chaps!

there is a setting

[Select]

browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick

, maybe it helps when you set it to false.

General Software Discussion / Firefox 4, Tab Mix Plus, middle-mouse click not recognized

« Last post by cranioscopical on March 27, 2011, 01:21 PM »

As the title implies, FF4 doesn't want to recognize a middle click when handling tabs. That is when using an add-on to modify tab behaviour. I want a middle click to load a link into the current tab. Currently I'm using the dev build of Tab Mix Plus. I'd been using the betas of FF4 and assumed that the problem would go away once the final release appeared.

Before I resume hunting for a solution can anyone else confirm that this is a problem or tell me what I've overlooked?
If it's just me, I'll focus my attention on finding and removing the source of annoyance.

TIA

The only thing it doesn't have, which I can probably live without, is that it doesn't instantly hide again when I move my mouse away.

-tannim (March 24, 2011, 05:07 PM)

It does for me. Perhaps dig into the options a bit?

I haven't used it for a while so can't tell you where off-hand.

There's some quite detailed help (a lot of it video) on the web site. http://www.quicknote.de/help/

Anyway, glad it's useful…

You might also take a look at Quicknote which fulfills at least some of your requirements, if not all.
