A problem with switching tabs when using auto complete

Hi, When there are a few open tabs (let's say gmail, yahoo and aol), if I type an address that is open in another tab (if I'm in gmail and will type "yah") it should offer me to switch to that tab (yahoo). But it does not, even in safe mode. I also tried fixing it through the location bar settings, but nothing. :( Does anyone has idea how to fix this? Thanks!

Anyone....? I have 300+ tabs, and I really need that feature. Thanks!

Do you see these tabs if you only enable "Open tabs" for the location/address bar?

It is likely that too many history items have a larger frecency count and thus the open tabs aren't near the top of the list and open tabs remain hidden.

Hi cor-el, What do you mean by: " "Open tabs" for the location/address bar?' Thanks. :)

The location bar drop-down list can show history items, bookmarked pages, pages opened in tabs, and search suggestions.

You can set what suggestions show when you enter an URL in the location/address bar bar via Options/Preferences -> Privacy

  • Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest:
    History
    Bookmarks
    Open tabs

Try to remove the checkmarks on bookmarks and history temporarily and leave only open tabs wit a tick to check if that makes a difference.
