Ctrl+Alt+Enter and Firefox
« on: November 21, 2012, 07:28 PM »
Hello all.
For some time Ctrl+Alt+Enter will launch multiple searches (for example) one... tab... at... a... time...
Firefox will wait until one search finishes loading, and then... will load the next one. It's excruciatingly slow and I have to wait since the new tab will steal the focus, preventing me to read anything.
Am I the only one suffering from this ? Is it a "new" farr feature ? a firefox change ?
Thanks for helping me with this one.

OK, so I changed my browser to internet explorer and the behavior is the same. So I guess there's now a fixed delay between each "launch" in farr. I understand that when launching applications, it could help in terms of performance, etc. However, when "launching links", it makes the whole process a bit tedious.

Is there a way to adjust that delay or remove it ?
