Firefox question

[Jessie]

At home, when I open a new tab, it opens behind the current tab.  I like it that way.

At work, when I open a new tab, it opens on top of the current tab, becoming the new current tab.  I don't like that.

I can't find where to set that in the options.  Anyone know where it is?

[meredith]

Are you talking about open a new tab from a link, or just open a new tab?

Options, Advanced, Tabbed Browsing.  See "Select new ..."

[Jessie]

From a link.

[meredith]

The above should do it for ya.

true, but she needs to feel as if shes in control and not just totally F***ed.

[meredith]

actually fdisk would be much easier to fix

[ReBurn]

actually fdisk would be much easier to fix

only if you didn't delete the partitions.  You have to know that you are supposed to delete the partitions, too.  And create a new one.  Yeah, just pretend that I said all that, too.

no, if someone blew away the partition and even if they made a new one but didn't write to it, it would be fairly easy to fix.

if you delete a partition, then make a new one starting at the same position on disk and at the same size, everything will still be there.

The above should do it for ya.

I don't really see what you're talking about.  Screenshot?  Please?

Go to the Tab Browsing secton, and look for "Tab Focus" at the bottom. expand it.  "Select new tabs created by links"  uncheck

[Jessie]

That did it!  Thanks, you're the best!

The partition table just stores pointers indicating the start and end of each partition.  you can do whatever you want with it, but if you don't touch the data that was on the rest of the disk, it's relatively trivial to fix.  scan the disk, find the beginning and end of the previously-defined partitions based on known structures from the filesystems, and recreate the partition table as it was.

np.  I need to get a hold of the developer of that extension. that's one confusing-ass preferences page.
