CTRL-left click goes to the new tab

I don't know what happened but I have not changed the settings and now my Firefox guard opening new tabs and pass to them even if "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked in the settings and the browser.tabs.loadInBackground and services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.tabs.loadInBackground are set to true in the subject: config. I also tried the extension "Switch to tab no more" and it does not work. I have no idea what caused my browser to act this way, but it's pretty frustrating.

It depends on whether the link is designed to stay in the same tab or open a new window. Firefox has a distinct preference for each, and only the 'same tab' is on the Options page.

This gives a test:

(1) in a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press enter/return. Click on the button promising to be careful.

(2) in the search above the list box, type or paste the tabs and make a pause so that the list is filtered

(3) double click on the preference of browser.tabs.load InBackground ofdiversion for the value by default false true - line should turn "BOLD"

Who help me?

Since there are a number of similar sounding preferences, here is my understanding when they apply:

  • browser.tabs.loadInBackground = > when you open a regular link in a new tab using Ctrl + click (or right click > open in a new tab)

    • default = true, do not have the new active tab
    • In the page Options dialog box, this is controlled by him "when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" setting.
  • Browser.Tabs.Load InBackground ofdiversion = > when divert you a new window generated by script in a new tab using Ctrl + click, or a page using the link target attribute in a new launcher and divert you a new tab

    • default = false, activate the new tab
  • Browser.Tabs.LoadFavoritesInBackground = > when you load a bookmark in a new tab using Ctrl + click (or right click > open in a new tab)

    • default = false, activate the new tab

  • CTRL + left click does not work for me, so I can't open the link in a new tab using this shortcut!

    When I press ctrl + left click on a link, nothing happens. The only way to open a link in a new tab is by right clicking, which is not very practical

    I had this problem as well. I reduced to a conflict between two of my addons. In my case, Tab Mix Plus v0.3.8.6 and GreaseMonkey v0.9.10. Then, I checked the sites for these two addons and discovered that this is a known issue and will be fixed in GreaseMonkey v0.9.11 (which apparently is in beta at the moment).

    For those of you experience this problem, check if your addons may be causing it.

  • CTRL-SHIFT-click to open the link in a new tab (v10)

    I came back to Firefox recently after trying to use Chrome for a while. I welcome my return, except that in the update of v9 to v10, I found one of my favorite keyboard shortcuts no longer work as he had.

    In v9 and precedent, Ctrl-Shift-click opens a link in a new tab and switched to it immediately. V10, Ctrl-Shift-click still opens the link in a new tab, but does not pass, even with Options: tabs: when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately enabled.

    When you use the mouse to open a link in a new tab, it switches on it immediately as expected.

    I thought I was going to have to live with it (or not), but then to find some documentation noting that Ctrl-click now offers the functionality I was used to.

    Great! However, backward compatibility with old features could save me some temporary disappointment and some additional research.

    BTW, I noted in another post several of the reasons why I returned to Firefox from Chrome.

    Two key combinations seem to work in Firefox 8, 9. and 10 for me.

    Change when I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately from disabled to enabled reverse functions {Ctrl + click} and {Ctrl + Shift + click}.

  • By clicking the "Open a new tab" button or "Ctrl + T" no longer opens a new tab. How to bring back this feature?

    By clicking the "Open a new tab" button or "Ctrl + T" no longer opens a new tab. How to bring back this feature?
    When I click, try a right-click of the mouse to open a new tab, type or use the file menu, nothing happens. However, I am able to open links in a new tab.

    The Ask toolbar is originally only in versions of Firefox 3.6.13 +. Obviously something in this extension is not compatible with a Firefox security patch. Disable this extension or uninstall it.

  • My 'new tab' button, the ctrl + T and go to file, new tab does not work

    When I click to open a new tab, it does not open. If I do ctrl + T, it will not open a new tab. If I go to folder and select the new tab, it will not open a new tab. The only way it will open a new tab is if I click with the right button on a link somewhere on the page and click New tab. It's weird.

  • CTRL + left click is not always the same as the Middle-click

    CTRL-click is supposed to open a new tab, but this does not always happen. For example in a YouTube channel, a video in the sidebar (or right-clicking and selecting new tab) Middle-click opens the video in a new tab, but ctrl-click opens in the current tab. Y at - it a fix for this?

    These links are that JavaScript links (according to elegant), which do not respond the same as ordinary hyperlinks.

    I have a userstyle installed in Firefox that adds a 'J' cursor 'hand' on most of the JavaScript links, and tells me that I need to way - click on these links - cause {Ctrl + click} will not work.

  • How to set preferences for what happens / appears when you click the new tab

    I used to have seen my sites more used, but for some reason that I don't have more since I uninstalled a toolbar that has become the default search engine itself!
    So now, I want that, instead of having an error message; the new tab display a tab blank when I click on button ' + '!

    You can check the browser.newtab.url pref on the topic: config page and set this pref to your preferred the new tab page.

    • the new default tab with the tiles page is on: newtab
    • the default homepage is Subject: Home
    • to a blank page, you can use Subject: vacuum

    The pref browser.newtabpage.enabled must be set to true to use the page defined through browser.newtab.url like the new tab page.

    See this article on the page tab (topic: newtab):

  • How can I get the default for the new tab page when there is no improved/classic/empty choises when I click on the gear icon.

    When I open a new tab, I used to get a page which had tiles for some of the sites I visit often. Now I get the Bing search page. The help of instructions say I can change the default new tab page by clicking on the gear on a new improved, classic, or blank page icon in a drop-down list. When I click on the train, I don't get this list of options. Instead, a settings page appears, allowing me to make various changes, but improved, classic or white new tab page choices aren't there. What should I do?

    To modify the new page tab, please follow these steps:

    1. Go to about:config in Firefox
    2. Locate the browser.newtab.url string
    3. Set the value of this string on the URL of your page to the desired tab

    This should change the new tab page.

    Notes:

    • Set the about:newtab to get the page of the new classic tab
    • Set the about:home to get the default home page
    • Set the about:blank to get the blank page

    You see, I downloaded kind of something which changed the squares which showed what I... went in front. (Sometimes just recently, but it registers itself it.) I don't mind.)

    Now it shows Yahoo. And I don't want Yahoo NOT showing when I click New tab. I want that return sites.

    I always love reading, if I get on the Web sites that have stories and quizzes as Quotev!

    Example: You click on the new tab, and it shows the websites, you went on a field. You just click to go to her. I also added the Bookmarks tab, but... It's not the same feeling, there is for me?

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).
