So are you saying that, in the next release, the tab will open *behind* the current tab? If so, that would be great: I'd rather not turn off the update tabs completely. It's not just FireBug that does this, either - WebDeveloper toolbar extension does it also. Is that because both are using the same mechanism i.e. is there one fix for all update tabs? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Firebug" group.
