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.

Tabs are no longer loading, I have disabled addon's, killed the plugin-container, nothing helps

Worked fine earlier this week. Now, the saved tabs (from session manager) just do not load. A few do but only 2-3 out of 16. I've disabled most addon's, stopped the plugin container, performed all MS updates for XP, downloaded 3.6.10 of Firefox, nothing helps. I give up.

I solved the code problem myself after a careful run through of the code, the "else" in my subclass made it so that every button other than the Add button deleted a selected entry, i quickly fixed it and made it an if statement.
Thank you for the link cotton.m
My question bout optimizing still remains though:In the beginning of my code i have it loading the entire library with the *, and i noticed after turning it into a .jar that it loads slower than i expected... would a way to speed it up be to specify exactly what i need loaded after the program is finished or would it make no diffrence?

The ctrl+click method of opening a link in a new tab has changed to opening in a new window. How do I open in a new tab with a hotkey/change the hotkey back?

This is consistent and started with the beta.

I have no problem with {Ctrl + Click} opening a link in a new Tab in 4.0b9. And {Shft + Click} still opens a link in a new Window.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Forcing Safari to open new links in a new tab

Without sounding cynical, I love Safari but have been using Chrome for several years because it behaves like "I" want...not like "Apple" wants. I keep hoping Apple will fix the remaining two quirks (for me anyway) that keep me from using it full time. One of them I can live without...the other I can't, but perhaps there's a way around it that someone here might know about.
1. I want EVERY link on which I click to always open in a new tab (or at least in a new window if it's coded to do that). Safari insists on opening almost every link in the same window I'm already in, forcing me to page back to get to where I started. I have the Tab Preferences set to "Open pages in tabs instead of windows AUTOMATICALLY" which is supposed to use the tabs, except where the link is coded to open a child window. BUT...this simply does not happen. I could change this preference to ALWAYS instead of AUTOMATICALLY but then I lose the child windows when they're supposed to open. Chrome does this perfectly...why can't Safari?
2. The only other thing is not fixable yet, but perhaps someday Apple will realize it (I've submitted it as a Safari suggestion already). When I open a page in Safari, why must I have to move my cursor to the address window? It's so amazing how Chrome as always opened with the cursor already positioned in the address window already...where else would you want it if you're going to open the browser and type something?
Anyway, it's the first item that really irks me, but perhaps it's just something I'm doing wrong. Thanks for any help.

Start by opening a Terminal window (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal). Enter the following command:
defaults write com.apple.Safari TargetedClicksCreateTabs -bool true
Restart Safari.
If you decide you want to change back, just re-enter the command but replace true at the end of the command with false.

Web page different from opening link in a new tab or new window from Google search results

I had been using another browser for a few months because I did not want to lose the web pages I opened within Mozilla. I began using Mozilla again after saving off the web pages. I see that Google's web page pulls in search results as I type in keywords, a feature I don't remember seeing with other browsers along with a magnifying glass icon, like a look ahead of what a web page looks like before clicking on the link.
With the list of search results, I click on the link and tell Mozilla to open the link in a new tab. I see the google icon, "loading..." or "testing...", then results other than the link I wanted. Those other results maybe bing.com, http://66.45.255.230/click.php?c=0920f96609cb269f1d0045095c09, http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X, Info.com, Supermedia Reverse Proxy (http://superpages.iarbiz.com/o6gIoMdG6so=-tQ1LeOu1v0kY34rDZ|oRy8Xt294ACu6X)or whatever else. As for the link, I managed to press stop before being redirected.
This is with any search results listed.
I thought it was Google.
Changed to Instant is off.
Nope. Still the same issue. Have already gone after malware. Tried resetting the redirect value to 0.
Above results also occur when opening the link in a new page via right menu click.
Copying link location and pasting in a new window is displaying results okay.
When resuming use of Mozilla, an update was available and installed. Did not experience the above issues before the update.
Running version 3.6.12. Running Win XP Pro SP3.
Had to go back to IE and Chrome/SRWare Iron.
Example:
Google keywords: rental cars
Clicked on Ad: _Avis_Rent_a_Car_, link is Avis.com
Clicked on top search result: Hertz_Rent-a-Car_-_Rental_Car_Discounts,_Coupons,_and_Great_Rates (magnifying glass), www.hertz.com

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. 
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.

Opening link in a new tab disables back navigation to the first page

If I am on page A (for an example, let's say it is www.yahoo.com) and I chose a link on that page and by right-clicking open pop-up menu and choose '''Open Link in New Tab''', the page B (let's say finance.yahoo.com) opens in a new tab. Now, if I click on any link on this page B to be opened in the same tab the page (we will call it C) opens, but all options to navigate back ('''Go Back One Page''' browser button, Alt-Left Arrow, '''Back''' option on pop-up menu) appear disabled. However, if I continue to navigate from page C in the same tab to let's say page D, and from there to pages E and F, I can go back all the way to page C, but no further. It looks like for some reason the opening link in a new tab fails to put it in that tab navigation history.
I am running Firefox 4.01. It happens only on my office computer and not on any other computers I use. I had this problem before on the same office computer with Firefox 3.6. I could not get rid of it. Only after I uninstalled 3.6, cleaned all remnants of it and installed 4.0 – the problem went away. I updated to 4.01 and it worked fine for a while. But recently (I don't know what triggered it) the problem came back.

Thanks for your post.
I've seen it, and that's what I want to avoid. Like I said, if I click on a link which was suppose to open in a new window, it should open in new tab instead.
Thanks.

Ever since I updated, I can no longer right click on links, choose "Open Link in a new tab" and expect it to do anything at all. WTF!

I should note, I am using the latest version as of today, I am using the portable version, and I have a TON of addons, a list of which I can post if I have to. Any Ideas what could be causing this? I use the "Open link in a New Tab" option every single day. I don't want to have to hit some special button to do so like my current temporary workaround with tab mix plus, I miss the old method, the option is still there in the context menu, but it won't do a single thing ever :(. Also not working is "Open Link in This Tab" and "Open Link in Duplicated Tab" (Not that I ever use those ones so who give a F). "Open Links in New Tabs" Still works though, but not for single links, so its not an ideal workaround. I can't afford to simply reset the browser, my settings, my addons, everything would be gone. I could back it up with FEBE but then I would be right back where I started. :(

Guys, I should wrap this up and let you all know so this page may help those experiencing the Firebug Context Menu Glitch. It's messed up, that was one of my favourite programs :(. Now looking for a version that doesn't do that.

Unnecessary alert when opening a link in a new tab

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab firefox opens it properly but alerts me with "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (bar) isn't associated with any program."

Perform the suggestions mentioned in the following articles:
* [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Template:clearCookiesCache Clear Cookies & Cache]
* [[How to clear the cache#w_clear-the-cache|Clear the Network Cache]]
* Make sure that you are using the '''"Remember History"''' setting as described in this article -> [[Options window - Privacy panel]]
-> Start Firefox in -> [[Safe Mode]] to check if your add-ons/extensions are causing the problems.
* Also see this article -> [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Check and tell if its working.

Open link in a new tab problem.

When I want to open a link to a new tab by pressing my mouse scroller, it just won't work. Anyone have any solution? It still works after I changed to Firefox 4 after a few days. But it didn't work now. :(

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Want to open links in a new tab not a new window.

When using a mouse I know I can middle click (wheel) and the web-link I am clicking will open in a new tab. I also know I can drag that link to the + sign on the tab bar and it will open. But while using the Keyboard only, when I want to open a webpage link in a new tab, it always opens in a new window, why?
I noticed while searching in Mozilla Support that hitting any box opens in a new tab ( this is the effect I want) why does this not happen on other webpages?
I may be answering my own question here but could it be the one 'NewsNow' website that is causing my problem?

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window for opening a link.
The browser.link.open_newwindow pref only affects links that specify a target window.
You can use the browser.link.open_newwindow pref to divert links that specify a target to the current tab or a new tab.
The browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref allows to divert (onclick) JavaScript window.open() links.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl (Mac: Cmd) left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window).
There are also extensions that have options how a link is opened, so you can check out the Add-ons website.

Why does rightclick+t on a link open the link in a new tab, yet rightclick+t on a bookmark on the toolbar grays it out?

This happens to be more of an issue using a trackpad. Then you rightclick on a link and then hit "t" it opens the link in a new tab. when you do the same command on on a bookmark on your bookmark toolbar, it grays the bookmark out. none of the settings have been changed on it. the way to fix it, i discovered is to right click on the bookmark and hit "p" no idea why, but this solved it. I can't find any of these command online, partly i don't know how to correctly search the rightclick command, but partly, it would only probably list the commands that actually show up as stuff to click with your mouse.
I would also like to know why for two different locations that both open a link in a new tab, why the mapped shortcuts are different. for a link, it is rightclick+t, for a bookmark it is rightclick+w. I mean, make it the same commands, it makes much more sense that way.

Because the "T" in "Open Link in New Tab" is underscored in the link context menu (right-click menu)
You are on Windows 7 and by default Microsoft hid that useful information by default in all of their menus.
See item #9 on my page [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/windows-7/win7.htm Windows 7 Home Premium]
Restore missing underscored letters in menus (turned off by default in Windows 7)
 Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Ease of Access Center (WinKey+U) → Make the keyboard easier to use
   [x] Turn on Toggle keys
   [x] Underline keyboard shortcuts and access keys
   [  ] Prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen.
Toggle keys appears both under mouse and under keyboard in Ease of use / Accessibility options.
 Though I would like to activate the last option, preventing windows from being automatically arranged
would also deactivate my favorite Windows 7 added WinKey+<arrowkey> keyboard shortcuts to resize window to left/normal/right side, or to maximize/norm/minimize window.  On a dual/extended monitors this would be left/norm/right on each monitor so left/right arrow actually have six positions passing between monitors.
 Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

Middle mouse button not opening links in new tab anymore

Sinc ea few days ago I can no longer open links in a new tab with my middle mouse button. All the other features in firefox that use it remain the same. (ie. middle click tab to close, tab bar to reopen last tab,scrolling.) I have changed no settings and have gone over them multiple times, but to na avail. Is it Firefox 6.0.1? Please help I like opening tabs without having to use a right click function.

Middle mosue button don't open a link on a new tab, the button works for scrolling etc. Thats teh problem, seem like I'm the only with the problem...

I had the same problem. If you're running Greasemonkey, you need to update it. There's a conflict between Greasemonkey 0.9.10 and Tab Mix Plus on Firefox 6.0.2. Until the add-ons site approves Greasemonkey 0.9.11, you'll have to install it manually.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions 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.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in [[Safe mode]]:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
