Just wondering how to change how tabs seem to behave when I select another application.

If you have more tabs open than the screen has room for, when you switch application the active tab shifts to the far right. Is there some way to stop this from happening ?

The other one which I think may be a bug is: If you have Firefox and another application taking up half the screen, and select the other application, when you reselect Firefox by clicking directly on a tab, a different tab is selected.

This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
  • If you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
  • Continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing it.

Thanks for the tip, Looks like the addon causing this was colourful tabs.
