Conflicts with Tab Mix Plus/open tab next to current.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tvq86LeAL4Q

i have my new tabs set to open after the current tab (so multiple links opened in new tabs would open one after the next)

Anyhow, at times, instead of opening the new link in a tab next to the current tab, it opens it next to the tab, next to the current tab.

So for instance

Facebook | Mozillazine | Google

I open an app like farmville with middle click

Facebook | Farmville | mozillazine | etc

There is a random chance it will open normally, however if you have recently closed a tab next to the current tab, with the HiQ extensin enabled it might become

Facebook | Mozillazine | Farmville | etc

and Mozillazine suddenly becomes the active tab when this occurs.

I have verified the behavior stops with the divx tab disabled, and its not exactly easy to test with tabmix plus disabled (since firefox doesn't open new tabs next to each other by default)

i can confirm it !!!

the problem is that divX HiQ extension call this function on new tab for some site

function HiQNewTabCreated(event){<br />
	var num = gBrowser.browsers.length;<br />
	gBrowser.tabContainer.advanceSelectedTab(num, true);<br />
}

but the extension don't select the page that trigger the event directly, instead the extension use advanceSelectedTab

this is better

function HiQNewTabCreated(event){<br />
	gBrowser.selectedTab = event.target;<br />
}

So as you can see, its the HiQ extension at fault, rather than tabmixplus :)

Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry you are having this issue. I will report this to our developers and we'll try to get a fix out for this in one of the upcoming releases.

onemen seems to believe its an issue in the HiQ extension itself rather than his own,

There is an offshoot of TabMixPlus called Tabberwocky and it's still being updated where the other one stopped awhile back. I've been using it with Divx and haven't had any problems yet, you should check it out.

hm, thought it stopped awhile ago. Guess that happened awhile back, but they picked back up the gauntlet my mistake. Anyways my advice is still there even though I mistook the updating progress of TabMixPlus.
