Barry I just tested it and browser.tabs.loadInBackground value is toggled when changing that setting in the preferences under tabbed browsing. So yes, they might have improved it, nevertheless it's unnecessary to go to about:config to configure it manually, there's no new configuration-capability beside the one in the GUI, which was my question ;-) regards Martin -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - http://www.gerstbach.at/2004/ascii ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
