MouseWheel will not open the link in a new tab

I used to be able to click on a link with my mousewheel and Firefox opens the link in a new tab. It has stopped working.

I use Windows 7 Pro and Firefox 36.0.1

Should what settings I check. Windows looks OK, I use the same mouse and it has stopped working on web sites where this technique used to work until a few days ago.

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.

  • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
  • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

    Hi, Firefox doesn't. You need to right click > open link in a new tab. Otherwise, click the mouse wheel. Or, hold down the Ctrl key when you click on the left.

    There are also modules such as Tab Mix Plus,or bookmarks only, try to open bookmarks in new tab.

    Hope that helps.

  • When I create a link in WordPress it will not open the link in a new window

    Hello
    I've been creating websites in WordPress for a few years and still today, I find that when I create a link to open it in a new window using Firefox as browser the link just opens again the same page

    This is the code: -.
    "< a title ="learn more"href ="http://socialmediatrainingjob.info/mainsq"target ="_blank"> here < /a > to find out"

    "< a title ="more"href ="http://socialmediatrainingjob.info/mainsq"> fred."

    The 'fred' link will go on the site that you want, but "find it out here" is going nowhere.

    These links behave as they shoul when I use Internet Explorer and Chrome

  • 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}.

  • 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.

    Is it possible to open a link in a new tab?

  • 'Open the link in a new tab' does not work. I tried with all disabled add-ons and it still does not work.

    When I right-click a link and select 'open in a new tab' and 'opens in a new window', nothing happens. In addition, nothing happens when I type a query in the search bar and press ENTER. I tried to restart firefox in safe mode and disabling all add-ons, but the problems continue.

    The setting in "tools > Options > tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead" is for links that specify a target window (for example, target = _blank) to open the link.
    This option allows to divert these links into a new tab instead of a new window.
    Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab, unless you redefine that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left click (new tab) or a left click UPDATE (new window) or via the context menu.

    You can check if you have the XML files including Google's default search engine in the browser\searchplugins file in the Firefox program folder.

    If this isn't the case, then you need to reinstall Firefox.

    Try to delete the file search.json and possible search - metadata.json and search.sqlite files in the profile folder of Firefox to reset the default search engines.
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

    Firefox will rebuild the file search.json from the default search engines in the folder "browser\searchplugins" in the Firefox program folder and the searchplugins folder in the Firefox profile folder.

  • Can I set my preferences in 42 of Firefox to open the link in a new tab

    I've recently updated for Firefox 42.
    I used to be able to set my preferences so that whenever I click on a link or bookmark it open in a new tab (rather that "crush" the tab/window I am). Is it possible to configure this in 42? How?

    Thank you

    Hi, not easy! You know that you can hold the CTRL key while clicking on the left, or do a right click > open link in a new tab.

    I suggest you only look to the add-on Open the link in new tab. Also Tab Mix more.

    See also Open bookmarks in a new tab , which I use myself.

    If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

    I noticed since the update to FF12 that now when I click to get "Open link in a new tab", the new tab opens on the far right of my tabs, rather than next to the tab, I clicked, as he did in FF3.6. Is it possible to operate the old way?
