Have been using SM for years (thanks, devs), only upgraded from v2.0.14
to 2.3 as a full-install-overwrite last night.
Home page: defined as a group of 4 tabs, all with the BBC (news,
currencies, 2 x weather).
When browser opens, home group opens as normal. If Home Group is
already open and the Home button clicked, the focused-tab is overwritten
with 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?
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.
Glad to see it's not a fault in my profile or add-on clash issue, but
it's been 4-1/2 years on the go without resolution or even a bit more
investigation?? Once I get signed up to BugZilla I'll vote and add my
confirmation/description. Maybe it'll help.
