What to do?
November 6th, 2010 by rstrong
I typically don’t complain unless things get really bad. In the past when Panorama made it so I was unable to work with my current tabs I would look around for what one needed to do to work around it getting in the way but so far I have been unable to to find a solution to the current problem. What is the current problem yoyu ask? I launch Firefox and all I have is my app tab in the Firefox tabs while I expect all of my previous tabs. The only saving grace is that the tabs are available in the Windows 7 taskbar list. Note: all of the tabs were open in the previous session and I have tried resetting pamorama without it helping a thing.
*edit* I have also tried to edit my tab groups but all I get is the following even though I have all of my tabs loaded
*edit 2* Jesse pointed out that setting javascript.options.methodjit.chrome to true breaks Panorama which was the reason Panorama was broken for me – Bug 604381 [Core] – Panorama stops working, if set javascript.options.methodjit.chrome to true [All]. Thanks Jesse!
Maybe the next step is to narrow down why setting the methodjit breaks panorama: surely the JS team will be more likely to get it fixed.
Hopefully the JS team will do so in the bug for this issue
I’ve seen what you see in that last screenshot several times on my Linux machine — all tabs seem to consolidate into the top left corner of Panorama and you can only drag them out one by one to restore them.
Still haven’t figured out when this happened, but I’m assuming this is a known bug….right?
Honestly don’t know but in my case I was not able to drag anything in the Panorama window. As a matter of fact I couldn’t even close it, I had to ctrl+tab to get back to my tabs.
