How to open bookmarks in new tabs?

The arrival of real extensions and other improvements are tempting me to switch from Firefox to Safari as my main browser. But tab management is one factor that has kept me Foxy. Apart from not yet having extensions as cool and smart as Tab Mix Plus and Colorful Tabs, Safari has always bugged me by making it tricky to open a Bookmarks link or a Bookmarks Bar link in a new tab. I realize that I can hold down the Command key to open a bookmark in a new tab, or I can right-click a Bookmark Bar item to open it ina new tab, but is there any way around this rigamarole? It's now possible to automatcally open new pages in tabs rather than windows via Safari Preferences; why can't I do the same with bookmarked links. The assumption that I'm finished with the tab I'm using and want it to be replaced by the bookmark link is ***-backwards. I want to close tabs myself, and I don't want open tabs snuffed out by default by something I'm not controlling. So is there any around the new-tabs limitation? I want to believe in Safari, but this little bit of interface fascism really bugs me.

Glims is a useful utility with some nice tab options, but it doesn't provide what I'm looking for: the ability to open bookmarks and Bookmarks Bar items in new tabs by default, rather that have them hijack and body-snatch the current active tab.
I've still been unable to find any way to make this happen in Safari. It should be an option like it is in Firefox.

Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?

I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab????
Your initial subject line:
'''''Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?'''''
Your last post (3rd post):
'''''Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...'''''
'''''''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''''''''
Right-click, '''not left-click''', has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions?
-List them.
-You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, '''enable one-at-a-time''', restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.

Opening Bookmarks in new Tab

Hi There,
I am a new user and love the tabs function.
However how do I open a bookmark in a new tab. Currently, when I click on a bookmark it opens in the existing tab.
Thanks
AppleMark1

Hi AppleMark1 and welcome to Apple Discussions.
If you go to 'Safari' in the Menu Bar, then Preferences (or Command ,) and select the 'Tabs' tab you will see the various ways that new tabs or windows are created when links (or bookmarks) are clicked.
Generally speaking links (and therefore bookmarks) are encoded to open in the same window. Some are encoded to open in a new window, some (fewer) are encoded to open in a new tab.
If you want links and bookmarks to open in a new tab just hold down the Command (or Apple) key when clicking.
Have fun,
Adrian

How to open link in new tab using Spry?

Does anyone know how to open menu web links in a new tab
(instead of opening a new window - IE7) using the Spry horizontal
dropdown menu? I tried putting "_tab" in the target field but it
doesn't seem to work. Thanks!

Thanks!
Opening new windows in a new tab is a setting within the IE7
preferences ( and I'd assume 8 too ) and as far as I'm aware there
is no control over this setting from within the HTML/JavaScript of
the web page to do what you are asking. If you use _blank and the
user has the appropriate setting in their browser, then it will
open in a new tab, not in a new window.

Open All in Tabs, opens bookmarks in new tabs and leaves current tab open instead of changing to the first bookmark

Whenever I click the "Open All in Tabs", it opens all the bookmarks in new tabs instead of opening the first bookmark in the current tab and the rest in new tabs.
happens on all 3 of my computers running 8.0a1

This isn't possible anymore, due to the fact that this Boolean entry has been removed: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395024
 
In my Firefox Aurora 8.0a2 (Windows 7, but Ubuntu 10.10 as well) the current behaviour could be described as follows: 
Open all in tabs
<ul><li>Normal click: opens all in new tabs, changes focus to first one opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + click: opens all in new tabs, changes focus to first one opened;</li>
<li>Shift + click: opens all in new window, changes focus to first one (tab) opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + Shift + click: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus.</li></ul>
 
Whereas I would like it to be as follows: 
Open all in tabs
<ul><li>Normal click: opens all but the first one (which overwrites current) in new tabs, doesn't change focus (due to the fact that the first item is already in the focused tab); in short, it changes the currently focused to the first item from the folder and appends its' rest on the right side;</li>
<li>Ctrl + click: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus;</li>
<li>Shift + click: opens all in new window, changes focus to the first one (tab) opened;</li>
<li>Ctrl + Shift: opens all in new tabs, doesn't change focus.</li></ul>
 
This behaviour was present a few versions ago and only lately have I looked for the solution to this. I encountered many bug files regarding this topic with people speaking against Firefox's behaviour that would close existing tabs when opening all in new tabs (from a folder), which possibly influenced the change that I would like to be reverted.
 
Please let me know if it is possible to attain the behaviour I described.

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!

How do I stop firefox from switching to new tab when opening bookmarks in new tab

When I open a link in a new tab it does not switch to it automatically. I had to reinstall firefox to stop it from switching to new tabs automatically since the option being unticked didn't stop it from happening anyway. Now only when I open a bookmard in a new tab it still switches to the new tab and I do not want it to. Why is it doing this with the option unchecked and a fresh install with no add ons of any sort? And how do I make it stop?

Try to set the Boolean pref browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground to true on the about:config page.

Firefox won't open bookmarks in new tabs any more

I've been using Firefox with Tab Mix Plus under Fedora Linux for a long time. Suddenly, if I right-click on a bookmark and select Open in New Tab, nothing happens. I've tried using the keyboard shortcut but it doesn't do any good. However, if I rght-click on a link I can open it in a new tab.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] 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.

Can't open bookmarks in new tab

About ten days ago, I stopped being able to open bookmarks in a new tab. In fact, if I right click them at all, I get a tiny gray box. It goes away with a reset, but if I try to install any of my old add-ons (even ones I install newly) it comes back. I've looked for programs installed, but I can't find anything that would have caused this.

If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: Firefox > Quit Firefox; Linux: Firefox/File > Quit)

Middle-Clicking not opening Bookmarks in New Tab

Windows 7 just did an update that included a new mouse driver, and now, middle clicking on an entry in my Bookmarks menu does nothing, instead of opening the bookmark in a new tab. There's no driver rollback available, and no driver at the mouse's maker's website (Logitech M-100 Optical Mouse)
Middle Click still opens links in the open page in tabs as normal.
#Firefox 16.0.1

Try a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before reinstalling a fresh copy of Firefox.
*C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
*Firefox 16.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible, to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because all profile folders will be removed and you will also lose your personal data like bookmarks and passwords from profiles of other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure that "remove personal data" is NOT selected when you uninstall Firefox.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

Everytime I press a bookmark, it opens in same tab. I would like each bookmark to open in a new tab.

When opening bookmarks,,they open in same tab.
How can I get each bookmark or link to open in new tab.
I have tried different settings in options/tabs and nothing chances.

You can middle-click a bookmarks to open the bookmark in a new tab just like you can with other links.

When i click on a bookmark, it will not open in a new tab

I just got a Macbook Pro and installed Firefox. On a PC, whenever I clicked on a bookmark, it opened in a new tab. The same settings do not work on a Mac. The bookmark opens in the same tab I was on. Help please

Hello,
My understanding is that the default action for left clicking a bookmark is to open in the current tab. If you want to open in a new tab, the middle click button is usually the way to do it.
Alternatively, you can install the following extension which will force all bookmarks to open in a new tab:
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
Or this extension which will provide more options for tabs (including what you want):

Can I set toolbar items to open in a new tab by default without right clicking 1st and telling them to?

I like to have some tabs open at the same time. Then I have some items in the toolbar that a sometimes need to open. I would like them to automatically open in a new tab without closing any tabs I already have open. Can this be done? I know if I right click on the toolbar item then choose open in a new tab it works. ??

I do not know of any way to specify only some bookmarks to open in a new tab. You could middle-click on a bookmark to make it open in a new tab.
There are add-ons that can make all bookmarks open in a new tab, such as:
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13784/ Open Bookmarks in New Tab]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1122/ Tab Mix Plus]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59961/ Tab Utilities]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/62581/ Tab Utilities Lite]
* [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/14439/ Tabberwocky]
All but the first of those will add many other tab browsing features. There will be other tabbed related add-ons that can open all bookmarks in a new tab, you can find them by searching https://addons.mozilla.org/
