How do I get a link to open up in a new tab with just a left click?


------------------
Pissed off?

I don't think you can't without an extension if the link isn't in the firefox browser. If it's in the browser "Open in new tab", or middleclick.

------------------
There is no signature

yeah. what extension do i need and what options do i set how and where?

------------------
Pissed off?

there's always mouse gestures..

------------------
What once was...

Get tge Tabbrowser Extensions extension. It'll let you open all links in a new window, or ones outside the current sites domain, or whatever you want.

Or you can just do it the easy way and CTRL+CLICK a link.

[Edit: Or SHIFT+CTRL+CLICK a link to open in a new tab and switch to that tab]

But yeah if you want EVERY link to open in a new tab you need the "Tabbrowser Preferences" extention.

Clicking the mousewheel also works as well, if you have one.

Yeah, middle-click by default will open a link in a new tab, unless your using Windows with the Logitech drivers installed and set to defaults . . which captures the middle-click and runs its own script instead.

I just set up firefox to act like my opera. What you want is tabbrowser extension. And then you go to options, extensions, tabbrowser extensions, and there will be a host of options for you to select from there.
