If I want to open the same website in a second tab and press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, why does Firefox 4 insist on switching to the first tab? Is it possible to turn this off?

I regularly need to open the same website in two tabs, to be able to view changes made between opening the first and second tabs. In Firefox 3.x I could press Ctrl+T and start typing the website title or URL, which would be auto-completed by Firefox. This enabled me to quickly open the same website in a second tab. Firefox 4 does not do this, instead it wants me to switch to the existing tab. This is not what I need.

Of course it is possible to open the same website in a second tab via e.g. a bookmark, but this takes more time and effort. It would be great if I could select Firefox's behavior in this situation.

If you've opened that page already in another tab then then you get a switch to tab to appear in the location bar drop down list.

You can look at this extension to stop that from happening:

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Thank you for your reply, cor-el! Unfortunately it did not help: when I open a new tab in Safe Mode with default theme and start typing the page title I still get the "Switch to tab" suggestion.

Any other ideas?

Bump... anyone?

Thank you Helper7677 and cor-el! Helper7677's solution still involves use of a mouse while I was looking for a keyboard-only solution. The cleanup and update tips were useful though.

My first impressions of Switch to Tab no more, as suggested by cor-el, are positive: I installed it just now and it seems to do just what it says: no more Switch to Tab. Exactly what I wanted :o) !
