This may have changed with a recent update, but now I only find options to change tab behavior. Is there a way to set up Firefox (I'm using v 68.0.2 64bit) so when I click a link on a webpage it opens in a new window? Thanks!

Hello readyben,

When I want a link to open in a new window, I hold the Shift key and then click on the link - but that is probably not what you want, in which case I would like to ask you to take a look at jscher2000's post in this thread :
