New tab opening behaviour In the past, when I opened new tabs they would open at the end (to the right) of the tabs that are already open (which is how I want it). Now, new tabs open right next to the tab from which I open a new tab (which isn't what I want). I'm not sure how/when the behaviour changed, perhaps after the upgrade to 3.6, but I can't be sure. In any case, how can I restore the previous behaviour? -- Herbert Eppel www.HETranslation.co.uk	3/12/2010 9:05:12 AM	0	Herb <...@UK>

Listening to mp3 files I have files with mp3 extensions associated with Winamp player. When using Windows Explorer, if I double-click on an mp3 file, Winamp opens and the file plays or enters the queue. But if I click on a link in FF to an mp3 file, the file plays okay, but with Quicktime. If I go to Tools/Options/Applications, the Content Type column doesn't show the mp3 extension, and I don't see a way of adding anything to the Content Type and Action columns. How can I make FF use Winamp as the player for mp3 files? Thanks, Ray	3/12/2010 12:16:27 AM	8	Ray K <raykos...@optonline.net>
Ubuntu Firefox "namoroka" and Logmein I've been tinkering with Ubuntu 9.10 these past few days on a dual-boot laptop. I've been having no end of trouble using LogMeIn (www.logmein.com) to operate my home machines. Ubuntu updated its Firefox to Namoroka last week (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Namoroka). I've installed Logmein's beta Linux plugin. The whole thing is just too flaky for use.

Ajax call returns empty text I have struggled for a couple of days, and still don't get anywhere. I have an Ajax call and it keeps return nothing versus some text when the state is 4 (which is completed). I debug the server and it did return some text. The browser just doesn't expose it. The configuration is: JSP code is in a Weblogic server in another port, the JS code is in another Weblogic port (2nd server, same host).

Tabs and windows, windows and tabs What I think (new whine at the end): I don't have a problem with calling them windows, but they look like independent occurrences of FireFox, and all the knobs ought to behave like the knobs on two unrelated occurrences of different-and-un-related programs do.

Spontaneous (and spurious) sound. (No, I have not been able to replace FireFox with something useful yet). Firefox starts playing sound files unbidden.

Just now it happened--I had been away, making my lunch--if I loaded such a file it took Firefox 15 minutes to load it.

I've tried other browsers (Opera, Safari, Chrome) and have come away wanting. However, I also acknowledge that part of the reason I like Fx is the UI, openness and timely security patches.

certificate manager doesn't show up personal certificates I'm wondering how Firefox certificate manager differentiate different type of certificates? I'm have few certificates which used for site authentication and these doesn't showing up in "Your certificates" tab instead in "Other" tab therefore Firefox doesn't offer these when site request certificate. In same time Internet Explorer working fine with these certificates, what could be wrong?

FF 3.6 misdiagnoses connection failure I just tried to connect to a Web site which happened to be down and FF 3.6 reported "The connection was reset / The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." Watching the connect attempt in TCPView, all I saw was a number of cases where it was in SYN_SENT state. Watching it in Wireshark, it was pretty clear that the connect attempt simply timed out.

trouble downloading pdf Seem to be having trouble downloading some pdf's.

Just won't download. I'm using the latest version of FF 3.6. I also notice that if I use google to search, and one of the sites that it comes up has a link to a pdf and also a "quick view" option, clicking the quick view brings up the pdf, but using the regular link brings up only the blank page.
