Hmm, weird. I've never changed my style (I've always been awesome) so I would presume to be using classic as well but yours looks much different than mine.

That's "classic" as in pre-XP, with no distracting colours, and no bubbly rounded corners (which make screenshots look like cr@p).

In this case, a color to distract the active tab from the others. Wink | ;)

Bur it's as plain as day which page the tab is attached to here[^].

In fact, if tabs aren't attached to pages, they're not even tabs; they're just buttons.

I went with pale moon which fixed a lot of things mozilla broke in ff (fixed or didn't do)
... mostly the < save / quit / cancel > when you close the thing with lotsa tabs open.

I'll admit though my bank doesn't like pale moon, so I installed chrome just for that.
(dislike chrome, not just tabs on top of the address bar but no menu bar because that's "modern".)

after many otherwise intelligent sounding suggestions that achieved nothing the nice folks at Technet said the only solution was to low level format my hard disk then reinstall my signature. Sadly, this still didn't fix the issue!

I used Pale Moon for a while, and liked it a lot (especially the marvellous Speed Start extension, which provides the best start page ever, IMO), but too many pages weren't working in it.

I've just updated it, so I'll give it another go.

Isn't the background of the active tab rendered in a different color than the other ones on your system?

Or are you using that dumb Win10 default setting where all captions, whether active or not, are shown in white so there's no way to tell them apart...?

Mark_Wallace24-Jan-20 6:12

It's displayed vaguely lighter, but when you have lots of tabs open (15+ is normal, for me), it's barely noticeable.

The "dumb Win10 default settings" have never been a problem for me (although I think "dumb" is a far too forgiving word, so you're probably a much nicer person than I am). I hack the cr@p out of the registry, to get rid of them.

But it's so bloody illogical, is what gets me. The tab is part of the page -- in the real world, it is physically part of the page -- so attaching it to an address bar makes absolutely no sense whatsoever, and is completely unintuitive.

It makes it into just a horizontal row of buttons that switch between pages that are somewhere else in the window, which is most certainly not good UX -- if you insist on having such buttons, at least align them vertically.

I use the addon "Tree Style Tab". I get a nice, hierarchical list of tabs on the left side. I don't even look at the tabs at the top any more.

I'd post a screen shot, but, I'd have to load the image to a site somewhere to be able to link it and I'm lazy.

Crime that's out of this world

24-Jan-20 5:52

Found it. I'll give it a go. If it can be positioned on the right, I'll probably keep it.

[edit]

Indeed it can, so I'll run with it for a few days, and see how it goes.

Of all places you can get on the net from, she thought doing that from the freakin' ISS would go unnoticed?
