Firefox Tabbed browsing

[xetlul]

I love the tabbed browsing in firefox. :D I was just wondering if there is a way to force links that open a new window to open a new tab instead. I know you can right click and select "open in new tab". :rolleyes: But I was wondering if there is a setting or something that would make it do that automatically whenever you click on a link that wants to open a new window. :D

Press the scroll wheel button. It might be annoying if you haven't done it, but imo it's really easy to use.

You can download and install the Tabbrower Preferences (http://216.55.161.203/theonekea/tabprefs/) extension. This little add-on while give you a new 'Tabbed Browsing' section in the options windows which will allow you to adjust quite a few things, including how/where links will open.

No prob guys, there are all kinds of extension available for Firefox. Extension Room (http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/) has a pretty nice collection.

you dont need to do this though ...

its built into firefox

ill post it later when im on my comp as i dont have ff at college

it doesnt work 100% but most of the time it does .....

But adding the extension takes like 30 seconds... and then you can make sure it works 100% of the time. I doubt it adds anything to the software itself, just adds the ability to adjust the settings for the already present features.

just hold CTRL+Left Click on the hyperlinks, it will open the link on a new tab......... easiest and no brainer solutions :D
