Clicking on tab does not switch to that tab most of the time

I've been using QuickFolders for years. I just have one top tab for each of my 11 email accounts. Nothing more complicated than that. Recently, I believe since the latest version update, when I click on a tab with new mail in it, or just another tab I want to switch to, most of the time it does not switch to that tab. I find I'm in the same email account I had been. I have to click again to get to the other tab. I have Thunderbird 24.0.1 and the latest QuickFolders. I've searched options, to see if it was switched to something like "doubleclick" to get to a new tab, rather than single click, but there is no such option I can find in all the settings. I'm pretty sure all these years I've only had to click one to switch!
It is possible that it is related (but not a duplicate of) [Bug 25598]. I will upload a beta here because it might be fixed with the related code.

I highly recommend console2 addon for this (and switch of content logging only activate chrome logging) as you can copy the errors as text file, which is way easier to read for me.
I'm sorry - but this doesn't self-install when opened. How do I go about doing the upgrade?

I installed the #18 update. Rebooted. Used for a few hours. Still not switching to folder on first click like it used to.
Created an attachment (id=7708) [details] How to set up debug settings In order to see what is happening we need to look at your error console log. Click on Tools > Error Console to see whether there are any errors. To put everything in context, please turn on Debug mode. QuickFolders Options > Advanced > Activate Debug mode Right-Click on Debug mode and also enable extensions.quickfolders.debug.events extensions.quickfolders.debug.folders extensions.quickfolders.debug.mouseclicks Before you click on a quickfolders tab, clear the error console completely. Take a copy of the contents of the error console straight after you have clicked the QuickFolders Tab. Also, is the tab highlighted as current folder (underlined) when you click for the first time? Also, which folders do the Top tabs represent, is it the inbox of each of your accounts?
Here is the expected output of the Error Console, as taken from my system, when I click on a QuickFolders tab (where folder selection works with a single click): QuickFolders {MOUSECLICKS} 20:48:49.823 [175486 ms] onButtonClick - isMouseClick = true ---------- QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.824 [1 ms] unread (displayed): 0 - total:(not displayed): 131 ---------- QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.828 [4 ms] QuickFolders_MySelectFolder: mailbox://axelg@pop.vodafone.ie/Development/Mozilla/Addons/Quickfolders ---------- QuickFolders {EVENTS} 20:48:49.862 [34 ms] event: FolderLoaded ---------- QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.863 [1 ms] unread (displayed): 0 - total:(not displayed): 131 ---------- QuickFolders {EVENTS} 20:48:49.866 [3 ms] event: FolderLoaded ---------- QuickFolders {FOLDERS} 20:48:49.867 [1 ms] unread (displayed): 0 - total:(not displayed): 131 ============== the function QuickFolders_MySelectFolder is the key thing here, and it creates the "FolderLoaded" event which Thunderbird should react to. Looking forward to seeing what you get instead.

It appears that the most important condition of this bug is that you are in a single message view. QuickFolders is currently not designed to navigate away from a single message, no matter what tab you click; however there is another bug that already deals with a request to change this behavior which is more suitable [Bug 25608] I will mark this as duplicate and continue working on this there. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 25608 ***
Created an attachment (id=7718) [details] 3.12. prerelease 4 This kind of / almost does it (opens a new tab if necessary) but it doesn't alkways switch to "read messages" mode so it might still require an additional unwanted click. But it is a good step towards the desired behavior. Please test relentlessly!
