New link will not open - home page opens instead

more options

I have defined'a home page '. If I open a new link it will not open in a new tab or another page just the home page will show - then I have to open a new tab, go back to the link and then the link will open in this new tab

Is there an easier way so that the link will open in a new page or a new tab

Thank you

Is this a problem with:

  • clicking a link in a page already displayed in Firefox (internal link)
  • clicking a link in a different application that then calls up Firefox (external link)

There are several ways. If these don't work, please explain the problem.

Open in a new tab: Click the middle mouse button on the link. or right-click and select Open New Tab or New Window.

It appears with external links

Thank you

Some other Mac users have reported this, too. When there are no open Firefox windows, clicking an external link opens a Firefox window but not the linked page. Firefox on Mac works differently than Windows, so I confess that I haven't paid close attention to those threads. Hopefully someone more familiar with Mac can offer a better workaround than "keep a Firefox window open/minimized".
