Updating one tab and one site resets ALL tabs.

Post by grgoffe »

Hi,

I have seen this "feature" before.

I'm watching a youtube video and it's still not working right so I enable another disallowed site. I'm expecting the site to be enabled for just this one tab. What happened was that all tabs were updated which caused them to immediately start playing their vid too. Can you say cacophony? What a mess. I had to locate all the tabs and pause each vid.

Is there some way to restrict the immediate update of all the tabs? As it turned out, I did NOT want to enable the specific site so I disallowed it.

Then I had to search for youtube tabs and stop each one.

Eventually I installed a "Restart" add-on which restarted the browser and ALL it's windows and tabs.

Isn't there a better way to do this?

Thanks,

George...
