Firefox settings

[Dieter Stubler]

Here I give you two nice Firfox settings which makes it easier to work with the schedulix web gui.

By defaultFirefox doesn't allow to close a window through JavaScript.
So closing of the launch window doesn't work.
Also the schedulix!web user properties 'CloseSelectorAfterCopy' and 'CloseJobDetailAfterOperate' do not work.

To change that you do:

Open Firefox configuration : about:config
Set dom.allow_scripts_to_close_windows to 'true'

Using a computer monitor with low resolution, the display of the url in every window header uses up unneccessary space.

To change that you do:

Open Firefox configuration : about:config
Set dom.disable_window_open_feature.location to 'false'

Have Fun

In the old times some add-on was required to load new pages in tabs instead.
This obviously made things easier.

In the meanwhile one only has to change a few properties of firefox to yield the same behaviour:

dom.disable_window_move_resize -> true
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction -> 0

Hope this is useful.

Thanks Ronald. How to implement the same in Chrome. Although Tab browsing is enabled in Chrome, I am unable to replicate the same behavior in chrome.

Hallo,

I haven't found a good solution for Chrome yet.

There are two Chrome extensions which do it 'The-One' and 'One Window', both doing the same.

They move newly created windows into a tab.

The new window pops up for a moment is then moved into a tab, which is producing a kind of 'flicker'.

Not the nicest thing, but may work for you.

Regards

Thank you Dieter. I think I will stick to Firefox for now.
