How to ALWAYS open links in new tabs on IE10, desktop version? Settings Internet Options Tabs seems incomplete......
Hello, I know variations of this question have been asked already, but I'm not finding answers that seem to actually work.
For example, if I click on a link in my Favorites Bar or in my Favorites, they open in the already open tab, not in a new tab.
This is not the case for Firefox; in FF they always open in a new tab. In previous versions of IE there were plugins that enabled this feature, but in IE10, Desktop version, all we seem to have are the tab options in settings. I have tried setting it
to always open in new tabs, and in new a new window, but nothing works.
Please don't mention keyboard shortcuts, as that doesn't seem intuitive; who wants to remind themselves to use the shortcut every time?
And yes, I know I could go back to FF, but I'm not a quitter! I want to like IE10, and I'm willing to give it a chance in spite of a few shortcomings.
Is there a plugin or registry hack to really really really make IE10 ALWAYS open links in new tabs?
Hi,
As far as I know, the behaviors of clicking some links are different due to how they are designed for some websites; there should be some purposes about why they are designed in such
way. There might be no other way to achieve this in Internet Explorer. Please understand that Internet Explorer and Firefox are different, such as on how they are designed and how they work; and Firefox needs an add-on to do this.
In Internet Explorer, there are many shortcut keys to reduce the operations and make it easier to use; I think you can have a try. I would like to share the following with you for your reference:

Shortcut for open link in new tab
How can I open link in new tab or in new window with keyboard shortcuts and not with mouse(R.C) ?
With the mouse, you also can use these: Ctrl+left click, middle-click (or mouse wheel-click).
Purely using the keyboard, do you normally open links by pressing Tab until they are selected and then pressing Enter? If so, hold the Ctrl key when you press Enter to open the selected link in a new tab.
There are programs/add-ons/userscripts which create hotkeys for links. If you are using one of those, perhaps there is a solution there, too, but it would depend on how that particular program/add-on/userscript works. If you could provide more detail, that would be helpful. -
Firefox4 "Open Link in new Tab" and "Open Link in new Windows" switch back to the old FF3 version
Am I the only one finding this annoying?
I want to know how to switch "open link in new tab" and "open link in new Windows" like it was in Firefox 3.
If you mousehover on a link and press the right mousebutton.Sara, I started having the same problem yesterday. In my case I was able to remedy it by disabling FasterFox 3.9.81. If you don't have that installed, I would recommend turning off your extensions (one by one), restarting firefox, and testing until you find the offender. Hope that helps!

"Open link in new tab" in the shortcut menu
When right-click on a link, "open link in new tab" appears as the 2nd after "open link in new window" with the old versions. Now in Firefox 4, it reversed; which is annoying and inconvenient. Is there a way to change it back? Thanks.

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. -
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") -
I would click a link which opens a new window. Then in this new window, I would right click to open link in new tab. The new tab does not show up in this new window. It instead shows up in the original browser window. How can I make the new tab show up in the same window?
Firefox did have a behavior where some new windows -- those considered to be dialogs -- could not have new tabs, so new tabs were diverted to the window from which the dialog was opened.
According to the bug tracking system, a fix is in the works:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644729 644729 – Popup window with all toolbars visible causes new tabs to open in another browser window] referencing [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=485237 485237 – Need to treat popups consistently].
That second ones says Target Milestone: Firefox 12, so the fix probably didn't make it into Firefox 11.
WORKAROUNDS
That first bug says there is an add-on to work around this -- it enables the middle mouse button to open links in a dialog window: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bug-586234-unfixer/ Bug 586234 Unfixer :: Add-ons for Firefox]. I haven't tried it myself.

Can no longer set firefox to always open links in a new tab
In the previous version I was able to set a preference that had firefox always open a clicked link in a new tab. Now I have to right click and select the option. I'm disappointed, I want that feature again. Is it hidden somewhere?

Why doesn't command-click always open links new tabs?
Right-clicking on links and selecting "Open link in new tab" always works as described, but command-clicking on links only sometimes opens them in new tabs. I am guessing that it is Javascript related, but why can the contextual menu work, and not the click?
''Edit: You might already have this set if the right-click option always works.''
By default, Firefox will divert standard new windows to a tab, but if the link actually is a script that launches a window with special parameters, like a dialog, then Firefox will honor that. There is an obscure setting to disregard those parameters and force all scripted windows into a new tab as well.
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''link.o''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double click these and set the value as desired:
'''(A) browser.link.open_newwindow'''
'''3 = divert new window to a new tab (<u>default</u>)''' (checked*)<br>
2 = allow link to open a new window (unchecked*)<br>
1 = force new window into same tab
'''*''' First checkbox in Options > Tabs
'''(B) browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction'''
'''0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows)'''<br>
2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (<u>default</u>)<br>
1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
Does that work? -
How can I make "Open Link in New Tab" open the new tab in the same window, not a different window?
When I Ctrl-click a link and choose "Open Link in New Tab" it chooses to open the new tab in a different window (one that's already open) rather than opening the new tab in the same window. Even though the other window is minimized, it automatically gets restored and placed on top of the window I was in. This interferes with my context, forcing me to minimize the window again to get back to the one I was in before. I want the new tab to open in the same window, so I can still see the tab I was in. Some links seem to have the "Open Link in New Tab" behavior automatically, so I never know when I'm going to get thrown out of my current window. Very annoying.
If you have a mouse with a scroll button then try to middle click the link to open the link in a new tab.
It is also possible that the links use onclick JavaScript instead of a href to specify the action.

Firefox 3 has a context menu for the drop down list of
the Location Bar. One option on this menu I used often
is "Open Link in New Tab" -- quite convenient.
This context menu has disappeared in Firefox 4.
Can I get it back?See also:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br /> -
How do I make "open link in new tab" go back to the second line after "open"?
I've newly upgraded to FF4.0 but I'm so used to opening new tabs by right-clicking a link and choosing "open link in new tab" instinctively by moving down a notch and clicking it as the second selection. FF4.0 new has it as the first option. Is there anyway to reposition it?

Safari opens links in new tabs, or in pre-existing tabs without giving me the option of opening the link in the same tab.
This has never happened before. Normally I would right-click and select open in new tab. How do I fix it? It's really frustrating.Safari > Preferences > Tabs
"Open pages in tabs instead of windows:"
Click the box for drop down.
You have three choices, Never, Automatically and Always.
Pick your choice.
