Use the center mouse wheel to open the link in a new tab

A widely used feature disappeared. By clicking on a link with the center of the mouse wheel, it would open this link in a new tab. Now it no longer works. Please, how can it be restored?

This happened to me, after getting a new mouse. GoTo Control Panel... The mouse, then assign your wheel button Middle-click

    Hello again!

    You can send the question to Logitech customer support and otherwise reinstall the Logitech software again or reset factory default driver software, as I don't know any more than the problem lies in the web browser itself.

    If all above fails them, try and see if you can get the mouse works propely on other computers running the same version of Mozilla Firefox.

  • Since Google Inbox or Gmail on Mac OS x using command-click to open a link in a new tab incorrectly brings this new tab to the front.

    Same action on any other site works very well and opens a new page in a new tab without bringing it to the front. You are looking for if there is a setting that needs to be adjusted or if it's something weird with functioning Google Inbox and Gmail. Would love to get this sort. Thank you!

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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}.

  • Than return the behavior of Firefox to focus on a new tab empty? Not the same as opening a link in a new tab.

    In previous versions of Firefox, when I open a new empty tab by CTRL-T or by clicking on the 'more' button on the tab bar, Firefox would focus on the new tab. This is not the case with Firefox 11, but I liked this behavior and want to get it back.

    It seems to be different from opening a link in a new tab, which, at least for me, opened without getting the focus (I deselected the option to immediately go to the preferences of some time back, but the new tab behavior remained). I searched through the preferences and have played with the options in the tab, but empty came. Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Thank you!

    As far as I can tell, it is still the default behavior and is not affected by preferences. Is one of your extensions may cause this problem. Go to Firefox > customize > addons and try to disable tabs in impact or the behavior tab.

  • Open a link in a new tab

    Instead of opening a link in a new tab, now when I click on a link, a new window opens. How can I stop this and put in place the system to open links in a new tab instead?

    The checkbox in the Options page does not work? In case it was not clearly article that scribe link, it's here:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > general

    Check the box "Open new windows in a new tab instead of this"

    Who will take care of most of the links that target a new window. If the site uses a script to remove the features of the window or specify the size of the window, you must change a hidden parameter also divert these windows on one leg, but please try the regular setting first and see if that fixes it.

    by clicking on a link or a bookmark will not open a new tab, it opens on the tab I'm already. Have already tried tools/options/tabs/check the windows open again in a new tab instead. It does not work.

    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.

  • Why control by clicking now launch the link in a new tab (which it is supposed to) and open the link in the current tab as well.

    I've just updated the 13.0.1 and immediately noticed on www.rottentomatoes.com when you hold down the control key and click with the mouse it not only opens a new tab with this link which is what I want. It also opens the link in the tab that I've watched. Now the SHIFT key to launch the link in a new session did the same thing. Launches the new session and opens the link in the existing session.

    I'm looking at this particular site:
    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/top/bestofrt/?year=2011

    Excessive use of unnecessary spaces is there in the code of the page.

    It happens in Firefox 3.6.x and Google Chrome as well.

  • 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.
