On: Overcoming Tab Overload

[stonewareslord]

I cannot stand this functionality and it's the first thing I disable on new installations. For me, Ctrl+tab is right and Ctrl+shift+tab is left.

I much prefer Firefox's awesome bar navigation when jumping around. % app will show all tabs with a title or URL containing app, * yo does the same for bookmarks containing yo, and ^ for history.

Edit: unfortunately, the % shortcut does not work with containers.

Is there a way to get FF to enable the mouse wheel to wrap tabs in a loop once you go past either end of your tab list?

It used to do this and now seems like there's no way to get this behavior back

Looks like no.

Here is the one reference to `toolkit.tabbox.switchByScrolling`: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content... You can see here that the second param to advanceSelectedTab is false

This param controls wrapping according to the definition: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content...

To confirm, we can see that the shift+tab/shift+ctrl+tab (which wraps) definition passes that param as true: https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/content...

Maybe you can file a bug to add another bool pref instead of hardcoding false?
