Firefox open link in new tab

[angemon89]

Is there a way I can achieve this without having to do a right click on my MacBook? I know that if I hold the shift key while clicking on a link it will open the link in a new window. Is there a way I can change this to open in a new tab instead? Maybe something in the about:config settings?

There should be an option to always open links in tabs in Firefox Preferences/Options > Tabs.

Also, I think you can do this by holding down Option and then left clicking.

In the preferences there should be a tab for "Tabs." Once that is open you should see an item that says something to the affect of " New pages should open in:" Make the appropriate selection and you should be good.

The thing is I do have it set to open new pages in new tabs. But when I shift+click on a link it opens in a new window.

Option+click just downloads the link.

On my Macbook it's Command + Left Click to open a link in a new tab.

You're right. I meant to say Command.

Oh, haha. I feel dumb now. I don't know why I didn't try command. Thanks
