I had a piece of javascript that would take a case id as an argument and open a page on a ticketing tool and to make use of it I created a bookmark in firefox and assigned it to a keyword.
This means I could use the keyword with the case id in the url bar and open up the case directly, similar to setting up proxy bookmark.
However in the versions of firefox I was using, when a new tab was opened it loads a new tab which did not allow me to run javascript.
One solution to this is to change what loads in the new tab, preferably you do not want to load a webpage every time a tab is opened.
To set what to open in the new tab, open about:config, click on the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button and then search for "tab" in the search box.
There should be a setting browser.newtab.url, right click on this and select Modify and enter the url you want to have in each new tab.
As mentioned you don't want this to load a webpage every time, so I use about:blank.
Notes on various technologies and other cool stuff I am playing around with. My own technical stream of consciousness.

First post of 2014
What no posts in 2014 yet.
I have been really busy with work and therefore have not managed to play with much fun stuff outside of work.
I aim to add some posts as often as I can.
