Home page: defined as a group of 4 tabs, all with the BBC (news,

When browser opens, home group opens as normal. If Home Group is already

the first of the replacement group tabs, and the remaining 3 are added
to what's there, so you end up with 7 tabs (3 pairs of duplicates and
one single). This repeats arithmetically each time you click Home. If I
close all but 1 tab and click Home, I end up with just the Home group of
tabs. It makes no difference whether any of the existing tabs actually
are still on the sites they originally opened up to (go shopping at
Amazon on one, Google maps on another, etc.) all but 1 existing tab stay
the same. That one is overwritten and 3 more added.

My preference is for tab groups is to 'Replace existing tabs'. I have
toggled this setting to 'Add...', closed SM and started over, then
changed the setting back to 'Replace...', then restarted SM again but
still the same.

Add-on Compat. Reporter 0.8.7 is installed. I have 2 add-ons relating to
tabs: IE Tab Plus and SeaTab X. Both are as current a version as can be
had; Reporter says IE Tab Plus isn't any good, but SeaTab X is OK. I've
disabled both and restarted SM, still same behavior. Three other add-ons
are reported by Compat. Reporter as no good with SM 2.3, but disabling
them didn't change anything, either. Other than this one issue, so far
2.3 appears stable.

Thoughts?


I have a group of five tabs for my homepage and just tried clicking on 
the browser icon twice from the mail  newsgroup screen. Only ended up 
with the one set of tabs.

The first time you clicked on the browser icon, it opened your browser 
home page group of tabs.  If you don't close the browser window but don 
try the browser icon again, SM is smart enough not to open a new window, 
'cause one's already open.  What we're describing as faulty is what 
happens when you click on your browser's Home button when tabs are 
already open--if your preferences are set for the tab group to REPLACE 
what's already open, it still ADDS to what's open, instead.  So if you 
have the Home group open and then click on Home again, you get duplicates.


And the SMv 2.3.1 had no effect on this, it's the same since v2.1.  But 
v2.0.14 doesn't do it.

Sorry, poor explanation on my part!

I was in SM Mail  News, clicked the icon for SM browser, my five site 
Home group opened, without closing anything I switched back to Mail  
News and re-clicked the Browser icon.still just the five sites 
showing up.


O.K., so this time I had Mail  News open, clicked on the Browser icon 
in the bottom left, Five Sites Home Group opened in the browser. So this 
time I clicked on the Browser Icon in the bottom left of the Browser 
Screenand got a second Browser screen with my five tabs.


In Edit-Preferences-Browser-Link Behavior, I've got Links from other 
applications set to A new tab in the current window.

Again, the SM suite is working as it's supposed to, near as I can tell. 
 Mine does the same thing, but your 'Links from other applications' 
doesn't apply to the SM browser, calling from inside itself.  After all, 
there may be a very good reason for you to want to open a new SM browser 
window with it's own tabs, separate from anything you're doing in the 
first window.


'...other applications...' refers to hyperlinks from, say, MS Word or 
Adobe Acrobat or some such.  If you have a browser window open, and then 
click on a link from a Word doc, does that link open in it's own window, 
or does it open in a new tab in the extant browser window?  That's what 
that preference means.  And that behavior has nothing to do with the 
original message of this thread.

Rickles, you're right that this (other applications) is how it should 
work, even if I click on a link in a email or news post, it should open 
in a new tab, not a new browser. I was just letting the OP know how I 
was set up.

 group of tabs.  It makes no difference whether any of the existing tabs
 actually are still on the sites they originally opened up to (go
 shopping at Amazon on one, Google maps on another, etc.) all but 1
 existing tab stay the same.  That one is overwritten and 3 more added.
 
 My preference is for tab groups is to 'Replace existing tabs'.  I have
 toggled this setting to 'Add...', closed SM and started over, then
 changed the setting back to 'Replace...', then restarted SM again but
 still the same.
 
 Add-on Compat. Reporter 0.8.7 is installed.  I have 2 add-ons relating
 to tabs: IE Tab Plus and SeaTab X.  Both are as current a version as can
 be had; Reporter says IE Tab Plus isn't any good, but SeaTab X is OK.
 I've disabled both and restarted SM, still same behavior.  Three other
 add-ons are reported by Compat. Reporter as no good with SM 2.3, but
 disabling them didn't change anything, either.  Other than this one
 issue, so far 2.3 appears stable.
 
 Thoughts?

That behavior really sucks. It occurs in 2.1 and above but not in 2.0.14
or before. The bug is documented at
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369440 and again in
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=612707 by me. Philip Chee
said he caused the problem when he was working on activating the middle
click button on the mouse but nothing is being done (AFAIK) to fix it.

I'm sticking with 2.0.14 until this is fixed so that clicking Home will
'Replace existing tabs' with the Home Group of tabs and not just add the
tabs as is now the case.
