tabbing in IE7 not automatic like in Firefox

tommiez3 · 02-25-2007, 10:53 AM

Noticed that new tabs come up automatically in Firefox, but in IE7 it's necessary to manually click on new tab. Is there a setting to make them come up automatically in IE7?

Do you mean when you click on a link ?
If so then yes, I don't have it loaded ATM but go into the options and have a look, there are 2 parts about opening tabs\windows\links just set the one that set to new window to new tab, hopefully thats what you want.

Hold down CTRL when you click on a link and it will open a new tab automatically, otherwise it opens a new window.

Thanks. I tried ctrl and it works for links, but not for clicking on favorites.

Then you must have something like AdWatch running. I've just tried it with and without AdWatch. With AdWatch loaded CTRL + fav opens in the current tab. Without AdWatch it opens in a new tab.

Don't have Adwatch

In that case I'm stumped. All I can suggest is that you check your internet settings in tools again. This is what mine looks like.
