Safari 3 Beta - Windows - Feature Request - Middle-click open in new tab

I'm checking out the new beta... I have a quick suggestion for a feature.
One thing I've noticed is that there is no option for middle-click to open a link in a new tab. I love this option in Mozilla and IE7, please implement it in Safari!
Thanks!

I can Middle click on any link, any bookmark an have it open in a new tab.
(in the background). Or make the new tab current. Just go to the preferences & fingle around. I can also left or middle click a tab to close it. It must be your settings. You can also rearrange tabs by dragging them. Create new windows
by dragging the tabs off the bar. Merge all windows by going to the Windows pull down menu. i cant really test if this works on a PC because i sold my last rig (PC) for pennies. another feature i like is (private browsing)

p.s.
Bill did this to me! My PC hated Netscape, & could only play audio from one
program at a time. My PC kept driving into a wall, but i wasn't afraid i just
got up & walked away.

Twist How to enable Scrolling and Middle Click (open in new tab)

I'm trying to find out if there is a way I can enable the ability to both scroll and middle click on the Twist. On my T420 I have "scrolling smooth" enabled under trackpoint properties (this setting doesn't exist on the Twist). When this is enabled a quick click of the middle button will open a link in a new tab, but pressing the middle button and moving the trackpoint allows me to scroll as expected. On the Twist, pressing the middle button only seems to bring up the scrolling prompt, and there seems to be no way to click.

I have the same question. I found a temporary work around by using the TPMiddle tool: http://users.v-lo.krakow.pl/~mwrobel/programs/tpmiddle.html I does work perfectly, but only until you restart the PC, so I had to manually add it to the startup. Hopefully there is an official way to do this

Clicking 'Open in new tab' opens in new window

Since the latest update (8.01), I've been unable to open links in new tabs without dragging the link up to the tab bar. Alt-clicking the link and clicking 'open in new tab' opens the link in a new window instead (The 'open in new window' works as it should). Also, middle button clicking opens in new window, even though I have the 'Open new windows in a new tab instead' selected in the tabs option menu.

And now it's started working fine...odd.

When I downloaded new version of firefox, the feature where when I open a new tab a page loads that contains mini-windows containing my most visited sites. where is this feature now!?

So with the new version of firefox I lost the feature where, whenever I opened a new tab, instead of a blank tab page, a page would appear that contained mini-windows containing pics of all my most often used websites. I could then simply click on one of maybe six windows to go directly to my most used sites. What happened to this? I really, really, really miss this feature. How can I get it back?

The Google Toolbar and other extensions for Firefox include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].

Firefox immediately switching to new tab even when that feature is disabled on right-click open in new tab or on ctrl+click a link. Please help.

Firefox switches immediately to new tab or the immediate next tab if multiple tabs are open, even when the respective feature is disabled, whenever I open a link by -
1. Right-click > open in new tab
2. Ctrl + click a link
Earlier it did not happen like this. It is really very annoying. Re-installation and clean installation of the latest version did not helped.
And this is happening mainly when I am using Facebook. Earlier it never happened so with Facebook.

I don't have the divX plug-in and I still have this problem. Why should plug-ins that are not even triggered by the affected pages alter Firefox's behavior. Feels like bad architecture.

I can not right click "open in new tab" nor open in new window, in my bookmark file.the bookmarks are all there, but I have to open a tab first then left click to open an item. Why can't I right click? The options are there, but not highlighted/clickable.

now it is working?! Go figure. Yeah! Thanks anyway......

Has anyone had trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button lately?

Hi gang. Since v29 came out, I have been having trouble with the middle mouse (open in new tab) button.
Sometimes the button does not register with Firefox. And sometimes FF acts like I pressed it several times.
Has anyone else had any problems? I use an add-on called

I disabled it but the problem was still there.

Sounds like a mouse on its' way to mouse-heaven. Seriously, the exact symptoms I have seen with a dozen 3 button mouse's (?meese - ?mice) over the last 15 years. <br />
Not registering a click is usually due to a dirty contact. And the "double-click" is when the flat spring looses tension and bounces.
I have had similar happen with the left button, too. But when it happens to that button it is more noticeable much sooner.
I bought a box of a dozen A4D house branded infrared wireless 3-button mouse's for like $24.00 back in 2000 that were on clearance because the driver disk didn't support W2K, only Win95, 98, and NT4. I got newer drivers from the A4D website and wore all 12 out over the 8 or 9 years. I even fixed a few that broke from the parts from other broken mouse's. I still have 6 or 7 of them laying in the "needs to be fixed" box under my workbench. I'll probably never fix them though, the nano receiver USB mouses I have been using for the 4 or 5 years have much better battery life and lately only need one AA battery.

Use to have a + on the right of the tab that when clicked, opens a new tab. what happened to this?

Such as a computer keyboard.
With BACKSPACE, TAB WITH SETTINGS, DELETE, TYPE OF TYPE, BOLD TYPE, UNDERLINE ETC....
I HAVE A KEYBOARD COVER AND IF I NEED TO USE CERTAIN KEYS I HAVE TO SWITCH TO MY KEYBOARD CASE AND THAT IS VERY INCONVENIENT.
IT IS ALSO A TIME WASTER.
When you installed iOS 8 did you read about the new features? Applications can create custom keyboards…

You need to look for an app that has a custom keyboard with the features you require, I suggest you find one without CAPSLOCK

Again you need to look at how to manage the device - these settings can be turned off already & you can edit the 'suggestions' too.

Sadly you cannot disable autocorrect temporarily, so it's all or nothing.

Clicking "Open a New Tab" button or "Ctrl+T" doesn't open a new tab any more. How do I get that functionality back?

When I click, type or use the File menu or try right-clicking mouse to open a new tab, nothing happens. However I am able to open links in a new tab.

The Ask Toolbar is causing that in the Firefox 3.6.13+ versions. Evidently something in that extension isn't compatible with a Firefox security fix. Disable that extension or un-install it.
How do I "disable" or "un-install it"?

When I link to an external site, the link does not work, if I right click "Open in new tab" the link works.

I have not changed any of my preferences and they look like they are as I would have left them.
I tried resetting Firefox and deleting the preference file, no change.
By the way, I hate that the tabs are on top and not where they belong above the pages they are for. There should still be a way in Firefox to put them back without having to use an add-in.

How do I choose which webpage opens when I click open a new tab?

When I click "Open a new tab" Firefox takes me to yahoo.com. What if I want it to take me to google.com?

The normal behavior is to open a blank tab. An add-on will be causing it to open to Yahoo, a possible add-on doing this is the freeze net assistant. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it.
The NewTabURL add-on will let you choose what you want to open on a new tab, but I would only install it if you uninstall the add-on that is opening Yahoo due to possible conflicts between the add-ons - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl

When i right-click 'open in new tab', it opens new window instead.

that's pretty much it - when i want to open a link and i right click on it and select OPEN IN NEW TAB, firefox opens a new window instead. this started quite recently and i have not made any changes to cause it.

I had this problem too. Inspired by cor-el's suggestion, I just disabled Tab Mix Plus 0.4.0, and the problem went away.
What is a little weird about it is that for me, all new tabs opened in the '''same''' windows. I could have several windows open, but every new tab opened in just one window, and always the same one.

Middle Button Open in New Tab Bug

Like many people, I use the middle button when clicking links to open them in a new tab. In Safari 4.0.1 this feature is buggy. Sometimes it opens a new tab, other times it opens a new tab and the current tab ALSO switches to the clicked link. So you end up with two tabs of the same link. Seemingly at random it will work properly, and then not work.
Note* In order to eliminate the possibility of mouse malfunction, I tested it with firefox and camino. Both opened new tabs 100% of the time with middle clicks of my Logitech G5. Safari opened new tabs without also switching the current tab to the link only around 40% of the time.

Cannot click on bubble links for at least two different sites pogo and my msn. I have also had prblems clicking on links within a website I have to right click and then click open in new tab.

pogo no longer loads games at all. I can't even right click top open in new tab. I have also found that I can not use search bar after going to a site i have to actually click home button and let it reload before I can use search button. i have uninstalled and reinstalled firfox already.

You can middle-click a link to open the link in a new tab.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Tab bar will not generate new tab if press+ - Links work- Right Button click 'open in new tab'

Now working with 3.6.18 (I had v4, then v5 briefly), the tab bar 'failed' in v5 so I went back to v3.6.18, but the problem followed.
No matter how many tabs are open I cannot get a new blank tab by clicking the "+" tab on tab bar.
I CANNOT get a new tab by mousing over another tab, right button menu "new tab" will not work.
I CAN select a bookmark "open in new tab" it works.
I CAN do the same on a link, "open in new tab" it opens in a new tab.

Didn't even know I had one, so I told it to display then went to the right hand end where a drop down menu offered "uninstall" and fired that , and again, and again, and again, the sticky little booger grinned back, but would not leave.
Reminded me of early Windows days when Win would die and tell you, "I just lost all your work" "OK?"
Going to look for a big hammer, it used to make me feel good to have the last FINAL word.
