Open bookmark in a new tab using mouse only - how?

Is there a way you can open a bookmarked page in a new tab using your mouse only? Like pressing the middle mouse button in FireFox. I don't like using an extra button on the keyboard to do this, or opening a new, empty tab first and then clicking on a bookmark.

okay, now this thread can die once again
LOL
you can right-click (open in new tab) on bookmarks in your collections page, even those in folders. just can't do this from the bookmarks bar.
Yes, you're right, you can. (And you can Command-click to immediately open in a new tab - quicker and easier than right-clicking and then choosing a menu item, in my opinion.) I thought of mentioning that earlier, but it was clear to me that Rosalba is looking for a way to open a bookmark in the Bookmarks Menu in a new tab without any additional steps, whether opening the bookmarks collection in a new window first, opening a new tab first, etc.
Regardless, we have at least gone over what you can do in this thread.

I email popup isn't working nor can I open pages on a new tab using right-click

I have AOL mail and I view my emails in a pop-up and now I click on the email and nothing happens- I cannot read them. When I am searching for videos or looking at content that is contained in a list I like to open links in a new tab so that I don't have to use the back button. When I right click a link the list is empty.

I can't seem to open links in a new tab using the scroll-click in my mouse anymore.

I've been able to open new tabs clicking the mouse wheel without a problem for as long as I can remember. Today, it just doesn't work, I updated firefox to v8 yesterday and since then it didn't work. I just installed the v9 in beta, in the hopes that it would work, but it doesn't.
Using control+click does work, and everything else works smoothly, but middle clicking to open new tabs does not.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

On OS X, middle click and command-click do not open bookmarks in a new tab

On OS X, middle clicking or Cmd-clicking on a link, or on a bookmark on the toolbar, opens that link in a new tab. However, middle clicking or Cmd-clicking on a bookmark in the Bookmarks menu opens the link in the current tab.
In the case of middle clicking, I am using an external mouse. Cmd-click fails to open a new tab from links in the Bookmarks menu both when using an external mouse, as well as when I use my MacBook trackpad.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? ''A troubleshooting mode.'' 
1.You can open the Firefox 4.0 SafeMode by holidng the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut. 
2. Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut to open it again.''

Open bookmark in a new tab

If I select a page from my Bookmarks it overwrites/replaces the current tab.
By pressing the Ctrl key the bookmarked site opens in a new tab.
Is there a way to reverse this 'norm'?
That is, I'd like my click on an entry in Bookmarks to open the selected page in a new tab. Whereas if I press Ctrl when selecting a bookmark entry, it will overwrite the current tab.

You can also middle-click a bookmark to have it open in a new tab.
TabMix Plus has an option to have bookmarks open in a new Tab, but I don't think that includes having it open in the current tab when {Ctrl + Click} is used.

Open bookmark results in "new tab". More is not possible!

[]Opening a bookmark or entering a web address does not work.
The result is only: "New tab".
Also opening in the Firefox Help menu results in "New tab".
By clicking on "New tab" nothing happens!

Can't you open any web page or do you only have that problem with bookmarks?
Issues with bookmarks or history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Can't open bookmarks in a new tab after changing "browser.tabsinsertRelatedAfterCurrent" - even after changing it back.

I changed "browser.tabsinsertRelatedAfterCurrent" in about:config, and then changed it back after it didn't do what I had hoped it would do. The next time I tried to open a bookmark '''from the menu''' (not the little bookmarks button thing), nothing happens when I select "Open in a New Tab."
EDIT:
Bah, I couldn't take it and just did a restore.

Using right mouse click in bookmarks and selecting new tab or window does not work anymore in firefow 4.0. no new tab or window opens. Still works if you open new via File menu.

When you select bookmarks, find the bookmark you want, then right mouse button click you get a drop down menu giving you the chance to open a bookmark in a new tab or new window. This no longer works with firefow 4.0

I used to be able to open links in a new tab by clicking my middle mouse button, but now that I've updated it to the most recent update it doesn't work anymore. How do I fix this? I really love that feature. It works in IE and Chrome but not Mozilla.

Ok, I used to be able to open links up in a new Tab using my middle mouse button. However, I updated firefox with the automatic Updates on the 26th of October and now I no longer can open links with my middle mouse button. Why? I use this feature just about every time I go searching on the internet so I really would like it back. I couldn't find anything that it was related to in the options so I turn this over to you guys.

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.

Why is it that sometimes when I use my middle mouse button to click on a link to open it in a new tab I will have it open it in an entirely new instance of Firefox instead of a new tab?

Occasionally when I click on a link with my middle mouse button, instead of opening the page in a new tab, it will open a new instance of Firefox.
I've looked through some of the settings and I wasn't able to find anything. It really gets to be bothersome at times because I prefer things to be in tabs instead of a new browser.

It's not specific sites. I can middle-click on the same link 50 times and it will open it in a new tab 45 times and 5 of those times, it will randomly open it in an entirely new window. I don't know what's causing this.
It happens so randomly that I don't know how to pin-point what it could be.

How can I set or reset the page that is loaded when I open a new tab using Ctrl t ?? by

I recently downloaded a program that has, as an undesired additional action, apprently setup Yahoo as the page that opens by default when I open a new tab using <Ctrl> <t> (or the <+> symbol on the tab bar). This is aggravating to me, particularly as I have not been able to find a way to stop it occurring.
I expect that it is buried somewhere in my profile, but I also have not found a way to explore or edit the contents of my profile.
There is a JScript script file called "user" in ...\profiles\4g4vpust.default that I suspect is associated with the behaviour, but renaming it achieved nothing.
Prior to this, my new tabs used to open as blank pages, i.e. did not load any URL and I was happy with that. How can I get back to that state?

Did it add the freeze net assistant add-on? That add-on is known to do this. If you have that add-on you can uninstall it Firefox should revert to the default behavior.
If you do not have that add-on, another add-on will be causing this, you can use the procedure in the following link to identify what one - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes

When I open a new tab, the new tab used to show shots of 6 or so of the last sites I'd viewed, so I could easily click on one and go to it. Now it shows a blank tab and I have to type the URL of the page I want. How can I change it back?

I can't open a new tab using Ctrl+T or by clicking on the + symbol. I can, however, open a new tab when holding down Ctrl and clicking on a link. How can I fix this please?

I used to be able to open a new tab using Ctrl+T but that has stopped working. Having I accidentally changed something?

Disable the Ask Toolbar.
