• "Open link in a new tab - switch to him immediately" cannot be disabled

  When I left click on a link, FF 14.01 will switch to the new tab immediately. When I right click and "Open link in a new tab" to say, FF will immediately switch. I've done all the obvious things in tools/options and also restore the default FF State and turned off all the modules and extensions. Before I do a complete uninstall/reinstall to see if it works, any other ideas?
  Is there an entry in the register of windows 7 that would force FF to always toggle the tab new left click on a link? I ask this because I suspect that the problem might be related to malware. The system is finished clean now, if this isn't the problem.

  Maybe it's a Yahoo site setting.

  I've recently upgraded to FF4.0, but I'm so used to opening new tabs by right-clicking on a link and selecting "Open link in a new tab" instinctively moving a notch and clicking on it in the second selection. New FF4.0 there for the first option. Is there anyway to reposition?

• By pressing the scroll wheel of the mouse does not open link in a new tab

  Since the upgrade to Version 38.0.1, this action no longer works. I can right-click and select a link to open it in a new tab, but pressing the mouse wheel is no longer works as a shortcut.

  Please correct or advise if there is a setting that I can shape to get this feature.

  Thank you.

  It is with the middle clicking a link on a web page or is not all click workplace?

  Is required to work Ctrl and left click to open the link in a new tab?

  Have you checked the settings in the mouse driver software to click on the scroll wheel?

• You want to open links in a new tab, not a new window.

  When using a mouse, I know I can middle-click (wheel) and I'm clicking on the link will open in a new tab. I also know that I can drag this link to the sign on the tabs bar + and it will open. But when you use the keyboard only, when I want to open a Web page link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?

  I noticed when looking at the support of Mozilla that hit any box opens in a new tab (this is the effect I want) why is it not the case on other Web pages?

  I can answer my own question here, but would it be the site of "NewsNow" one which is causing my problem?

  As I wrote above, that the tabs setting only applies to links that have a specified target window.
  You can click on the link and the code in the Inspector.

  • https://developer.Mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector

  If there is a button 'ev' Annex then, it means that JavaScript events are related to the link.

• I want to open links in a new window but cannot find where to put the setting. Having disabled the "open new windows in a new tab instead" box in the Options dialog box.

  When I click a link on a Web page or other software, I want to open in a window, completely new.

  You can hold the SHIFT key and click the left button of the mouse a link to open this link in a new window.

  The setting in tools > Options > tabs is only for links that specify a window target and you can hijack such a link in a new tab instead.

• When I "Open link in a new tab" it does not load the link, I have to stop and refresh the tab to load the linked page

  The title of the question pretty much explains the problem.

  EDIT: "Open Link in New Window" works very well, as by clicking on a link or bookmark to switch from one tab to the linked page.

  "Reload Tab" does nothing. The page loads only when I stop and reload.

  Sorry to bother you, but I think I just solved the problem.

  In the last three days I closed & restarted Firefox several times and stop & restarted my computer twice without solving the problem, but I just started, open Firefox in mode without failure, then closed & restarted Firefox and "link in new window open" seems now function normally.

  Now I feel like a fool for not trying that before asking the question.

• When I right click, the same context menu opens (menu hyperlinks, with "Open link in a new tab", etc.) no matter what/where I do a right-click.

  No matter where I right click on a webpage displayed (NOT the bar menu at the top of the screen), in computer text highlighted, a white spot in a Web page, or whatever it is, the shortcut menu for a hyperlink appears upward (with options to open it in a new tab, window or private (, bookmarking), and none of these options actually do anything, even if it is a hyperlink, I'm clicking. With the help of shortcuts like Ctrl + click on work very well. I have not recently installed plug-ins, and it only started a few hours ago. Wat do I do?

  Try disabling Firebug and see how it is.

• Just started to open links in a new window instead of a new also safe mode of Firefox tab doesn't do anything, how can I fix?

  When I click on a link, firefox opens in a new window. It is used to open it in a new tab instead which is what I prefer. I've never had this problem until last night, so I have no idea what might have started it. I tried the suggestion to put firefox in safe mode and still the same problem. I have firefox 15.0.1 on windows 7.

  What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

  Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if it works.

  Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

  See "create a profile":

  • https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
  • http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues

  There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

  If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.
