As a result of Learning 2.0 and a lot of odd behaviour by IE lately, I’ve pretty much switched to Firefox, but I found a few of its behaviours annoying, since they weren’t what I was used to with IE.
For example:
- CTRL-N opens a new window, but it doesn’t clone your current window
- a newly-opened tab is blank by default, instead of opening to your home page
After searching fruitlessly through Tools… Options for solutions, I finally went to Firefox online help and after a few false starts ended up at the immensely useful MozillaZine Forums.
After a quick search, I found and downloaded a Firefox extension to solve each problem:
- Clone Window – “Clones the current tab’s address and history into a new window when the New Window command is used”
- New Tab Homepage – “loads your homepage when you open a new tab”
Cool!
