Replace TBE

« TabBrowserExtensions »:http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en is a big (some say huge bloated) Firefox « extension »:http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/. It is currently understood that it has « some compatibility problems »:http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Firefox_:_Tips_:_Tabs, especially when upgrading different plugins and/or Firefox. See « here »:http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=47192&sid=6f8145dac3b9a69d7abe6551da85d3d0 for replacement by a list of smaller plugins.

« Rebuilding TBE »:http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=47192&postdays=0&postorder=asc&postsperpage=15&start=0&sid=6d7174d21ed37239fc8065b02056c5f8 suggested the combination :
« TBP »:http://www.intraplanar.net/projects/tabprefs/ + « Session saver »:http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#sessionsaver + « MiniT »:http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/minit + « Tab X »:http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/clav/ + « Blanklast »:http://v2studio.com/k/moz/ + « FLST (Focus Last Selected Tab) »:http://gorgias.de/mfe/ + « Undo Close Tab »:http://texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#undoclosetab

and gave the following advice:

* to open tabs to the right of the current tab, instead of the end of the tab bar, when using miniT: open chrome/minit.jar/content/minit.xul (in your profile; .jar is like .zip) and replace
t.ordinal = position;
with
t.ordinal = position = this.mCurrentTab.ordinal-0+1;
* to remove the close tab button from your tab bar, put this in your userchrome.css file:

#content .tabs-closebutton {
display: none !important;
}

* to place your tab bar at the bottom of the screen in the userchrome.css

/* Display the Tabbar at the bottom */
#content > tabbox {-moz-box-direction: reverse;}

And complained : So far, the killer features of TBE not implimented are:

# Duplicate Tab in new Tab/Window (« Clone Window »:http://www.texturizer.net/firefox/extensions/#clonewindow is close, but lacks a few features);
# Tabbar/Tab Click/Doubleclick Modifier

MT -> WP

I won’t comment on the MT « found the beef » pricing policy. Except to say that anybody fitted with an average level of sanity could see it coming. We blog here since Greymatter & evolved through all MT versions up to 2.661. Will it stay like that? Who knows.
We could consider « Moving from movable type to WordPress »:http://blog.carthik.net/vault/2004/05/14/movabletype-to-wordpress/ (« via »:http://www.scriptygoddess.com/archives/005121.php). We looked at WordPress before, w/o being impressed. Have a second try ?

The « MT is no more free » cabal led me to « 75 »:http://75thtrombone.com/blog/.
