"Add new tab"-button missing
Last modified: 2007-05-11 20:08:33 UTC
The "add new tab" button (left hand side of tab line) is missing; the "delete current tab" button (right hand side of that line) is still available. See screenshot enclosed.
Created attachment 47857 [details] Missing "add new tab" button (left hand side)
this is most probably a bug in the plastikfox theme. Please check the other themes. They should have the button.
I checked theme settings of firefox. I used the "default" scheme. Neither using "plastikfox" nor using "industrial" changed the behaviour. I checked it on two different maschines. Same result: No "add new tab" button.
hmm, you're right. But is this behaviour different at all to the original Firefox? IIRC only mozilla has such a "new tab" button but I can't remember that Firefox has one.
Created attachment 47878 [details] Same screenshot with marked "area of interest" Ok, initialy this button appears as soon as at least two tabs are open. This can behaviour can be changed using the options menu.
Created attachment 47879 [details] "AddNewTab"-Button with Firefox-1.0.6 under SuSE93 With SuSE93 everything is ok.
Created attachment 47880 [details] And with WinXP version of Firefox-1.0.6, too.
I don't know what's going on but I don't get this new tab button with Firefox 1.0.6 on SUSE 9.3. I can't open the attachment from comment #6.
While browsing for a different problem I found a work-around/solution(?) for the "missing icons"-issue (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=113533). It is related to file /opt/kde3/share/icons/default.kde/index.theme More details are mentioned in thread http://www.linux-club.de/viewtopic.php?t=39850&highlight=icons The work-around/solution described in the thread mentioned above works for me. I don't know if that work-around/solution helps to find the real cause.
To Wolfgang Rosenauer: Sorry, did not look into this case for some days. Attachment to comment #6 generally looks like attachment to comment #7 ("Add New Tab" button left of the first tab. At this time problem seems to be solved as described under comment #9. I have no idea if this problem is a KDE problem only, if it is a firefox problem only, if it is a GNOME problem, or if it is a intersection of all of the areas mentioned before. But again: Problem solved after applying the procedure as mentioned in comment #9. Maybe this can help experts to locate the root cause ...
Googling shows me that the new tab button is actually an extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1456 Install and works fine on 10.3.
