These suggestions are all well and good, but they don't change the original request or fix the problem that, as Stuart said on the bug, the browser.tabs.loadInBackground pref is being abused (as is the pref pane itself). While tab jumpback is sometimes sufficient, there are times when you simply want to open a new window--say, to put a page on another monitor--and holding down shift every time to put it in the front gets tedious quickly. (It also impedes mouse-only browsing.) Would the drivers be amenable to having browser.tabs.loadInBackground control only tabs, as it should, and having new window behavior controlled by a separate, possibly hidden pref (that defaulted to showing new windows in the front, like all other browsers)? I'd be happy to provide such a patch, as I imagine would Michael. - Dan _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [email protected] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
