With f38 I think my Firefox is unable to detect or is

open a new tab and want to go to a website/URL.
I think Firefox would then say, would offer something
like "switch
to tab".
In the past I'd noticed a behaviour that if I opened a
blank tab and
typed in something like facebook, let auto-complete do
its thing and
picked something from the drop-down list that appeared
below the
address bar from its history, I'd often see the browser
whiz over to an
existing tab which already had that site loaded. It was
that or a very
similar kind of situation.
Look carefully at the item you're clicking. Watch for the
tag that says "Switch to Tab".

Yes, that is exactly what we are saying, I was as the
originator of this thread.
I can only add - to what I said which was "this
functionality is completely gone" - that now after a longer
look I see "Swtich to Tab" for some site/urls, sometimes!
but not the others.
This would need to be thoroughly tested (probably something
only devel could do) to say, if there is pattern to it at
all or all this is purely random.
Eg. I've had a window with a few tabs - my Firefox is set to
restore last sessions - _none_ of those tabs (sites/urls
were fully loaded after restoration I made sure of) was
detected as "Switch to Tab"
I closed that window, opened a new one (made sure that no
other auto-started/restored window/tab had those sites in
question/example opened) and each site, one by one
loaded/opened, then tested in already existing window and
only ! then that window picked up, detected and offered
"Switch to Tab" to those sites.
So, purely from consumer perspective I can say this
"feature" is bit flaky.
many thanks, L.
