Hi, I have just changed from IE10 to Firefox and can't work out how to change my preference on emails links! I'm trying to hit email links so that it opens on a different/new page, but at the moment the page that I'm on changes to my gmail (compose) replacing the page I was on. Can anyone please help with instructions?

Cheers

Welcome to the world of Mozilla Firefox! We're glad you joined us :-)

Here's an addon for you which basicly opens links in new tabs instead of overwriting the currenct page you are looking at.

https://addons.mozilla.org/da/firefox.../open-link-in-new-tab/

Install the addon, activate it and restart your Firefox browser. If you're not sure how, you can in the left upper corner of your Firefox browser see a orange button. Click it and find "Addons". Click extentions and find your addon. Click active, and restart your browser.
