One thing Internet Explorer does better than Firefox
Thursday, October 9th, 2008 | Tech |
I use Firefox on all of my computers, but I’ve been using Internet Explorer 7 in the hotel’s business center this week.
IE7 has one feature I like better than Firefox. When you right-click to open a link in a new tab, Firefox opens the new tab at the far right of your open tabs. I sometimes have a dozen or more tabs open, so it’s a long drive to get to that last tab. IE7 opens the new tab immediately to the right of the current tab, which is much smarter.

Google “tab mix plus.” I think it’s even at AMO (addons.mozilla.org). You can change that setting as well as many others. I also like to be able to double click on a tab to reload it and middle click to close it. And scroll with the mouse wheel. I can’t do w/o that. I think there are other things there that I totally rely on for good browsing.
One of the big benefits to mozilla products is the community of addon developers.
Thanks. I should have figured there’d be an add-on to do that.
