[HELP] FireFox Left-click on tab cycles to previous tab (readme)

[vevola]

Let's see if I can explain myself. This is something that Opera has, and Windows has in general.
If you click on one tab, or window, it cycles from maximized to minimized so as to show/hide whatever's beneath it.
I'm trying to find a way to do this with FireFox (there must be a way, I just don't see it!)

Thanks in advance for who can point me to the right direction!

in FF tabs are tabs, while in windows windows are windows, and opera treats tabs as windows but manages them itself. I am not sure if there must be a way for FF to treat tabs as windows though.

[vevola]

it just seems like something so simple and intuitive, that i find it hard to believe that it's not possible...

[housetier]

It is intuitive when you want to treat tabs as windows.

There are many extensions for Firefox which influence "tab stuff", maybe one of them can achieve what you want.

What do you expect to happen when you minimize a tab-turned-window?

[vevola]

I expect (or would like) the same thing to happen:
- if the tab/window is open and I click on it, it should minimize;
- if the tab/window is minimized and I click on it, it should open

Is there a way to do this in Firefox?

[housetier]

I think I know remember how opera does it.

By "minimize" you mean "disappear from all those tabs and have something else show up somewhere else"?

[vevola]

Mmmm... not really...

So this is the deal (and I'll try to explain myself better): next to the START button, pretend you have two or three windows open. every time you you repeatedly click on one of them the window pops up and minimizes again and again.
So now I want to be able to do the same with my tabs in Firefox (I hope that sort of explained it)...

Any ideas?

[housetier]

You would need an equivalent of windows' taskbar in firefox. Dunno if there is one.
