can no longer set firefox to always open links in a new tab
In the previous version I was able to set a preference that had firefox always open a clicked link in a new tab. Now I have to right click and select the option. I'm disappointed, I want that feature again. Is it hidden somewhere?

Install this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/
Don't know of a setting to do that. Some Add-ons have an option as Xircal pointed out.
Ways to open a link or bookmark in a new tab without an Add-on:
- Ctrl+left-click the link or bookmark
- Middle-click the link or bookmark (middle-click = press the mouse wheel)
You need to update the following:
- Shockwave Flash 10.2 r152
- Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
- http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
- There are plugin specific testing links available from this page:
- Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
- Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
- If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "Download and information" or "Download Manual installers" below
- After download is complete, exit Firefox
- Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
- Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
