FF2 Tab Question..

**RavenMind** · 11-09-2006, 02:15 PM

In the previous versions of FF there has been an option to force links to open in a new tab of the same window. This option seems to have disappeared in v2.0. Does anybody know if there's a way to configure FF to open links in a new tab?

*Right-click on the link and click 'open in new tab'
*If you mouse has a scroll wheel... press that
*Ctrl+Click

As Carsey points out, there are a few ways of doing it. If you want even more control of tabs, the 'Tab Mix Plus' extension will give it (link below). It has recently been updated to work with Firefox 2.0 while keeping backward compatibility with earlier versions. The next version will be Firefox 2.0 only and therefore better. Tab Mix Plus also includes crash recovery and an 'undo' for if you close a tab accidentally.
