How to make Firefox stay on current tab, while opening new link in new tab.

I want Firefox to stay in the current tab window after clicking a link. I want the link to open in a new tab window, but not switch to it automatically.
In a nutshell, I want to be able to click on a link and have it act the same way it does when I right click and select "open link in new tab".

{ Ctrl + click } or Middle-click on hyperlinks to open that link in a new Tab.
As far as whether or not the new Tab grabs focus, that will depend on how the webpage wants that link to be opened. Some JavaScript links will just open the tab and focus on that new Tab. You would need a tab-related add-on to change that, in some cases.

  • How do I make Firefox default to home page when open new Tab?

    When I open a new tab/window its blank. I have Firefox open to my home page Google, and I want the new tab/window to default open to that if I haven't chosen a web site to go to in the new Tab/window.
    Is there a way to make Firefox default to the Google page when I open a new Tab/window and dont specify a web site to open to ?
    I am using XP PRO x64 with firefox 4.0 and everything else works fine... my default home page is the Google search page.

    Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/newtaburl/
    After install and re-starting Firefox, go to Add-ons > Extensions, click Options next to New TabURL, set the options and/or enter the URL you want when you open a new tab, click Save.

    Does not relate to your question, but...
    You have multiple old Java Console extensions that Java did not clean-up during updates. You need Java Console only if you do Java programming/development or debug Java applets on web pages. You can see them in Add-ons > Extensions, '''''but you can not remove them from there'''''. Removing them will not affect the functioning of Java on websites. You can '''''manually''''' remove them, '''''if you do not do Java development work''''' to avoid future, possible problems/conflicts:

  • How to make image stay still in background while content object scrolls over and change the background image?

    I'm fairly new to muse, so i bet it is a simple explanation to this. And don't know how to explain it in a good way. But i want the same effect as on this site http://themeforest.net/item/astlavista-multipurpose-muse-template/full_screen_preview/6459 513?ref=designrazzi . The photos stand still and changes while the blue/green content box slides over. Help anyone?

    I know how I scale the image to fill the browser. The effect I'm looking for is the transition from one image to another, as in http://themeforest.net/item/astlavista-multipurpose-muse-template/full_screen_preview/6459 513?ref=designrazzi. When the green/blue box with "services" scrolls over the screen, the image change from the one with the plane, to the one with the bike.

  • How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start, but keep last sessions?

    How to make Firefox open automatically a new, empty tab in each start? (keep last sessions as well) It will be good, because Firefox wont load the previous sessions last watched tab after start straight away, but keep my previous sessions tab as well in the browser.

    Hello,
    You can change your home page settings to open a blank tab:
    * Tools (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]]) > Options > General
    * Beside "Startup", change to "Show a blank tab"
    * See the article [[Startup, home page and download settings]] for more information
    To retrieve your previous browsing session, first make sure that you are not running in [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit|Private Browsing mode]]. When you start Firefox, to recover your previous session, you can go to:
    * History (or [[Image: New Fx Menu]] > History) > Restore Previous Session
    * Please see [[Restore previous session - Configure when Firefox shows your most recent tabs and windows]] for more information

  • How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29?

    How to make Firefox to never update that slow custom look since FF 29? How to change windows installation and ubuntu installation so they never update after FF 28 witch was last normal speed normal browser?
    Hello. I can easy remove on Windows FF 29 or FF 30 and its slower on fast computer. But its affected by millions of users. With FF 28 it was allways fast.
    Why fast? I dont know but its SLOW Now any version after FF 28.
    Since FF 29 FF loads and hangs very very slow each time loading, starting, or changing tabs. It is making problem for everyone and now everyone calls with help- "why computer is slow.. oh its FF? Chrome? Chrome was slow but now its not the slowest one?"
    Very colorfull Example- one comp is 10" and its very very very very low specs. So it wont run at all.
    Now on small comp we can try linux and FF BUT no matter what OS just couldnt get back with any plugins back normal speed. Since FF 29 its very very very slow and that needs to have a solution. Today came update and still unneded custom menu button and its slowness hasnt been removed (unnoticed) so it needs a fix so it works for people who are not just for browsing internet buying new computer and cant get any faster speed then Chrome since now theres no FF anymore.
    SO- How to do that on Windows and Linux- installing FF 28 and making it never upgrade
    OR even better- Making a package that already has this update disbled setting ON?
    p.s. Should you first ask people how they like slow browsers before making fast one to a slow one?
    p.p.s. i dont get how menu could be added by thouse who need it as an add-on ass allways and not presuring everyone who never touches any button.
    p.p.p.s. your business was beeing neutral ngo making browser for people and not for making cloged systems so new computers could be sold by some company advice or infiltrated mole who will suggest such unneded feature as any other addons, but sticking it in for everyone.

    Hello,
    You can download version 28 from here:
    https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/28.0/
    Also, you'll have to disable auto updates to remain with version 28 by following the steps described in this support article:

    The akamai servers are used by a lot of web servers to store large files (e.g. images and media files)
    A domain with fbstatic in it is likely a domain that is used by Facebook (fb), so you may have other problems if you stay on such a web page or get redirected
    If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) like <i>Adblock Plus</i> or <i>NoScript</i> or <i>Flash Block</i> that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How to make folders stay collapsed in list view in finder?

    could someone please tell me if there is a way to make folders stay collapsed next time you open that particular folder (like they used to in tiger)
    let me explain this in more detail
    back in tiger, when you were in list mode, when you press right arrow on a folder it was expanding its contents, but the next time you open that folder those folders were collapsed, whereas in leopard it remembers the folders you expanded and they stay expanded forever (or until you collapse them all again manually)
    i think its a lot more logical for them to stay collapsed next time you're opening that folder because if you have a lot of subfolders and they're all expanded when you open the folder next time its huge, the side scroller bar is tiny and its very difficult to find your stuff
    if someone has a solution for this it would be greatly appreciated
    thank you very much

    thanks for your reply
    actually CMD+A & CMD+left arrow only collapses the folders of the folder youre in, and not all the levels of subfolders that youve opened
    if i could do CMD+A & CMD+left arrow to collapse all the levels of expanded subfolders that would be fine but imagine how much time it would take to locate everything that youve expanded and collapse it manually if you have about 10 levels of subfolders?
    i find this incredibly frustrating, has anyone else got any suggestions?

  • How to make Firefox 4 locale follow the one set in Windows

    I want to use Firefox 4 in a multi tennant environment. On each workstation users of different origine can log on. Ideally of course I'd like to have everybody use the system using his own language. I already found out how to make Firefox available in multiple languages, but at the moment that can only be set manually. I am looking for a way to make FF's locale follow Windows' locale. Anybody that can give me some pointers?
    In case FF can't do this by automated I was hoping to find out where about:config stores it's settings (file / registry).
