Feature of opening link in new tab when middle-click it has just dissapeared.

Hello! Feature of opening link in new tab when middle-click it has just dissapeared; now, when I middle-click the link, nothing happens - no new tab, simply nothing! It's not issue with a mouse, I've tried another mouse, and it's the same, and middle click works in other browsers; right click and "Open link in new tab" (as well as other options from context menu) work properly. Any idea what happened? Thanks!

Well, something of your advices helped; I don't know which one exactly, but it works again now. Thanks a lot, guys!
Edit: Errrm, I didn't know exactly how this works, so I had the idea to click "Solved it" button next to both above posts, as I really was not sure which one solved my issue; now, as I clicked the button next to first answer, I see it appears as chosen answer, and no more button next to second answer; sorry, Cor-el; thanks to both for your willingness to help anyway!

  • Close tabs and open links in new tab with middle click

    Until recently I was able to close tabs by middle clicking them or open new tabs by middle clicking them. Recently however Firefox either is no longer recognizing my middle clicks or is not processing them in the same way.
    I tried looking in the about:config functions for functions including 'middle' in an attempt to find the configuration option for this but didn't find anything. I need to identify how to configure it first so I can attempt that.

    I have this problem as well, and tried basically everything. Even a fresh install (didn't help). I have this issue (using the same Logitech LX3) since I switched from Firefox 3.x to 4.x and now 5.x, all on Windows 7.
    Basically, the middle mouse button behavior is totally unreliable. Most of the times, it doesn't work at all. However, sometimes it does, but then it may take up many seconds (keeping the middle button pressed) until the tab finally opens... and then it often opens multi. Sometimes the tab(s) open after X seconds while the middle mouse button is still pressed, sometimes it opens after the button was released.
    It seems to be a bit better in Private Browsing mode, though. Can't really be more specific: sometimes the middle mouse button opens the new tab after seconds in "using tab x, page y, link z", while it doesn't work on exactely that same page on "using tab x, page y, link z" after doing nothing for 5 minutes.

    the user cor-el has a method that does not require any add-ons. He States
    This code in userChrome.css will move "Open Link in New Window" to the top of the context menu.

    the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
    1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
    2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
    3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
    4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
    5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
    I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.

  • How to open link in new tab with right click?

    I'd love to be able to right click, i.e., two finger tap on the magic trackpad, and have a link open in a new tab.  I know I can hold the command button to accomplish this, but then it takes two hands.  I tried the following on the command line which had no effect:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
    Is there a way I can do a two finger tap and have the link open in a new tab?
    I'm using safari 5.1 under Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion)
    -Thanks

    I FINALLY found a solution!  I was searching for a command-click plugin, and I found this app named "middleclick"  It simulates clicking a middle mouse button, with a 3 finger tap.  Now I can open links in a new tab with only one hand.  Great!

  • Clicking a search result from search bar goole seaech, always opening google home page but only can open search in new tab by middle click,really frustrating.

    Whenever i am clicking search result from Google search bar, it always opens the Google home page. I can only open search result in new tab by double clicking. It started when i installed Firefox 12.

    @mstm, please ensure that you write some thing in search bar before you click search icon. without entering anything will redirect to google.com. And make sure that you are clicking on search icon not home icon.

  • "Open Link in New Tab" click

    Hi,
    In Firefox I was able to open links in new tab using middle-click (scroll wheel) of my mighty mouse. However, I got rid of my mighty mouse and have VX nano now. Is it possible to use any of the 5 buttons of this mouse for opening links in new tab in Safari using Steermouse or xGestures or anything else? I have both those apps.
    Thanks.

    If you right-click on the link, you can choose "open link in new tab" from the contextual menu.

  • ⌘-click to open link in new tab

    In preferences, under tabs it says ⌘-click opens a link in a new tab and selects it. However, when doing exactly this, the link still opens in a new window. I am running Safari 2.0.4 (419.3). I have tabbed browsing enabled and open links is set to open in current window.

    It works now, but not in Gmail. Could it be that a link inside of Gmail always opens a new window no matter what?! Seems strange that it would behave that way. I tried it however, and a link outside of Gmail opens in a new tab when I ⌘-click it, but inside of Gmail a link always opens in a new window.
    What do you think?

  • Why does right-click & "Open Link in New Tab" make the original tab name to change to "New Tab" when I back-arrow in the original tab to reach the original page

    I use Google as my home page.
    When I do a search in Google I have a practice of opening the search links in a new tab by right-clicking on the link and selecting "Open Link in New Tab". That way I can examine multiple links from the search page, which is now open in the first tab.
    The problem that occurs is that when I use the back-arrow in the Navagation bar to return the first tab to its original page, I find the tab name of the original page to be "New Tab" rather than "Google" and I have to click on the "Reload current page" in the Navigation bar to return the tab name to "Google".
    I'm using Firefox-25 on a Linux-Mint 64-bit platform with KDE-4.9.5.

    The problem is just with the name of the tab, not with the contents of the page -- the page looks normal??
    I ask about the page because Firefox 23 seems to have introduced a problem with Firefox's "fast back-forward cache" on the Google search results page. It is related to the "instant prediction results" feature interacting with Firefox is some different way. (More in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/970863?page=2#answer-485663])
    Might be related. Not sure.

  • With FF15 on Win7, when I click a Google Reader link (that open in a new tab when clicked, target="_blank" style), the new tab opens for a second, then closes.

    The tab will not crash if I right-click, open in new tab, or middle click. Other sites with target="_blank" seem to be ok with left click (Google+ links for example). But Google Reader links seem to be completely broken.

    Seems to be an adblock plus issue in my case. When I disable adblock it never happens. When I enable it this occurs on most links on google, twitter or reddit. Somehow seems them as pop ups I guess. Probably will have to fiddle with adblock plus.

  • In version 9 is there anyway to put the "Open Link in new Tab" back to where it was when right clicking on a link?

    The menu editor addon no longer works with FF v9.0.1, is there another way to change the location of the "Open Link in New Tab" contextual menu item when right clicking on a link?

    You can do that with code in userChrome.css.

  • When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See:
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • When I right click and select open link in new tab, it leaves the page I am on and takes me to the first tab to the right

    I usually have many tabs open when I read the news, and it is nice to select open links in new tabs while scrolling through a news' home page. Lately, however, Mozilla has been opening the new tab, but switches the page I am viewing to the first tab to the right of the home page. For example, I had ESPN.com open, and then a few Facebook tabs after that to the right. Whenever I would select open link in new tab, the tab I was viewing would switch from ESPN.com to the first Facebook tab to the right, and the new tab would open a little further down the line. Any chance anyone knows how to fix this?

  • When I click to open anything I get a box saying open link in new window, open link in new tab, download linked file etc.  When I go to close anything I get hide toolbar, customize toolbar.  It takes  3-5 clicks and it will finally close.

    In Firefox Options / Privacy be sure "Remember download history" is checked. To see all of the options on that panel, "Firefox will" must be set to "Use custom settings for history".

  • Hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

    hai i am using firefox 3.6.When right clicking on a link and a window opens up, i want it to ask me "Open Link in New tab" first, not second.

    First, you are using a version of Firefox that is very old and outdated. Please update to at least Firefox 3.6.27, or more preferably, update to Firefox 10.0.2. There are lots of bug fixes, security improvements, and much improved performance in Firefox 10.
    After you do that, try seeing if you are still having a problem. If you are, is this that when you try to select "Open in a new tab" it opens in a new window instead? Or something else?

  • Firefox bug when clicking "open link in new tab" or mouse wheel

    I am starting to get this bug for a last few days.
    When I am trying to click "Open link in new tab" or, as usual using mouse wheel click, inside a Firefox window I got this for a couple of seconds before page shows up.
    https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-tbYPFx7jBn4/VIBxWfNBp8I/AAAAAAAABPM/yxArZ9Zbw88/s1000/bug.jpg
    As you can see it's a mix of previous pages I was viewing for a last few days....
    All those pages was not open at the this moment, it's just like a flash back :O)
    Any idea what may cause it?

    hello Bubunya, maybe that's an issue with hardware acceleration - please try [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|updating your graphics driver]], or in case this doesn't solve the issue or there is no new version available at the moment, disable hardware acceleration in the firefox ''menu ≡ > options > advanced > general'' (that setting will take a restart of the browser to take effect).
