The current version of Firefox moves the tabs. Now the focus moves off the end of the row. I think this runs counter to the point of having tabs, if you can only see one at a time. How do I fix this

The tabs bar on 3.6 Firefox now focuses on the last tab in the row. This means that I can only effectively see one tab, unless I use the arrow button to scroll back through all the tabs. I am used to scrolling some, when there are a dozen tabs open, but How do I make the tab bar static, they way it used to be, so it stands still when I click on the last tab in the row.??

Nothing in that respect has been changed since Firefox 3.6 was released in late January. And it works pretty much as it did in the 3.5.x versions, except for a few minor changes, like the opening of "relative tabs".

Are you sure that an update to an extension you have installed hasn't brought about that change recently?

Or could you have set the pref for When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately, in Tools > Options > Tabs - ?

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.

I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.

My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.

I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.
