How do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.
Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...
HELP!
Thanks in advance...

Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • How to get pages to open in a 'New Tab' instead of a 'New Page'

    Hi there,
    I know how to get the pages of my iWeb created site to open as a 'New Page' by using the Inspector. What I want to do however, is to get them to open as a 'New Tab' instead.
    I want to do this because I have several pages that open as a 'New Page' and it litters the screen with Safari pages. So instead of a 'New Page', I want them to open as a 'New Tab' within the one Safari window.
    This is what I want to happen:
    1: user clicks on link
    2: link opens a new Tab
    3: Safari switches to the new Tab and makes it the active Tab.
    Can someone please tell me how to get this to happen. Just ot be totally clear: I am aware that I can alter [MY] Safari settings to do this on my own Mac. But I want it to happen as default for everyone who visits my site and clicks on the corresponding links.
    My site is published to MobileMe
    Regards
    Jason

    Where is iWeb involved?
    Right-click > open link in new tab.
    Works with all webpages, not only iWeb ones.
    And if it drives you crazy, you may want to seek professional help with medication.
    Or learn to use your computer.

  • How do I get Google search bar results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab?

    When I use the Google search box, I would like the search results to open in a new tab instead of the current tab.

    It turns out there is an about:config setting just for this purpose. Toggle browser.search.openintab to 'true', and all is well.

    Never used it myself, so I'm not sure if you can set to about:home or not. You'll have to give it a try.

    The keyboard shortcuts on the pull down menus are grayed out. So I cant use my keyboard to (for instance) open up a new tab. This is the case for all keyboard s

    Mine appear in gray, too; I think that's just the style.
    Does this problem occur on all pages? (If it only appears on YouTube or other pages with Flash players, it may be related to keystrokes being captured by the plugin.)
    A standard diagnostic for possible interference by add-ons is to try Firefox's Safe Mode.
    First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [[Backing up your information]]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
    Next, restart Firefox in Firefox's Safe Mode ([[Safe Mode]]) using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the Safe Mode dialog, do not check any boxes, just click "Continue in Safe Mode."
    If your keyboard shortcuts work correctly, this points to one of your add-ons or custom settings as the problem.
    Any change?

  • How can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?

    I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

    You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow (3)
    To open the <i>about:config</i> page, type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the "<i>Enter</i>" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.<br />
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.<br />
    *Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
    *Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
    *Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

  • In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked

    In Firefox 29 center clicking at the top of a tab in a maximized window will open a previously closed tab instead of closing the tab you clicked.
    Is this this the intended behavior? And if so is there any way to disable it?
    Thanks

    Middle-clicking a tab closes it, while middle-clicking an empty area of the tab bar opens a new tab.
    Different behavior is probably caused by a tab-related add-on like Tab Mix Plus. If you're not sure if you have such an add-on, restart Firefox with add-ons disabled and check if the problem still occurs.

  • How do I get my hotmail to open in a new tab instead of a new window and I've tried the middle click/ctlr option.

    MSN is my home page and when I click on the hotmail link in the top left hand corner of the page it always opens in a new window even if I press middle-click/ ctrl keys. The hotmail link is the only link that I have had this problem with thus far. Can you help me correct this problem?

    Hotmail opens in a new window because the code or set of instructions on the MSN website tells Firefox to open Hotmail in a new window. I would suggest you right click on the Hotmail button and left click on "Open Link in New Tab". This will open a new tab in the current window.

  • How do I get Firefox to open in a new tab (instead of a new window) when I click on one of my buttons in my toolbar?

    When I click on one of my buttons in the toolbar, Firefox opens that button in a new window. I would like to be able to click on one of my buttons and Firefox open it in a new tab instead.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == When I attempt to click on a button

    Right click the FireFox button in your toolbar and look in the properties- middle tab...make sure that it only has "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" with no other link added to the end. I had a similar problem this morning and found a website had attached it's link to the end so it would always pop up first and would only open a new tab.
    Hope that fixed it.
