how do I get news stories I click from my Yahoo home page to open in a new tab?

more options

At one point, whenever I clicked on a news story on my Yahoo home page the story would open in a new tab, leaving the home page unchanged. When I updated Firefox, this feature was eliminated. Is there a way to turn it back on?

Hmm, this isn't a built-in feature of Firefox, but here are a couple possibilities:

(1) Maybe Yahoo has a setting for this, but it is stored in a cookie and the cookie got wiped out somehow?

(2) Maybe one of your add-ons has a setting for this, but the add-on was disabled during the update because it needs to be updated for Firefox 30?

You can check whether any of your extensions are disabled or need updating on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Command+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. The disabled ones appear toward the bottom on a gray background.

To check for extension updates, at the top above the list, click the "gear" button, then Check for Updates.

Anything relevant there?


The "manual" methods for opening a link in a new tab are:

  • hold down the Command key while clicking the link
  • "middle-click" the link with a mouse scroll wheel
  • right-click the link > Open Link in New Tab

If command+click doesn't work, this can indicate that a script attached to the link and is overriding normal Firefox behavior.
