As a user in China, since the domestic version of Firefox was discontinued, I switched to the international version. However, I’ve encountered a frustrating issue regarding how history entries open: When I click on a history entry in the right-side history sidebar, it overwrites my current tab by default. To open it in a new tab, I have to manually press the Ctrl key while clicking — which breaks my long-standing browsing habit. Previously, in the version I used (the domestic variant), a simple click on a history entry always opened it in a new tab. Strangely, the left-side history panel (if applicable) also opens history entries in new tabs without overwriting. This inconsistent behavior between the sidebar and other interfaces is confusing. I understand some users might prefer overwriting the current tab, but flexibility is key. Could Mozilla add a configurable setting (e.g., in about:config or the preferences menu) to let users choose:
Option 1: Overwrite the current tab when clicking history entries. Option 2: Open history entries in a new tab by default.
This would respect diverse user habits and resolve the mismatch between the sidebar and other history interfaces. Thank you for considering this improvement! 我是一个中国地区的用户，因为国内的停运了，现在更新了国际版的火狐，但是在用到国际版的火狐中，我遇到了这个问题：在当我点击历史记录时，会把我当前的标签页覆盖，如果需要不覆盖当前标签页，则需要我按住ctrl再点击。在这之前，我用的版本一直都是在新标签上打开历史网址的，然后我发现在左侧的历史记录这，点击历史记录则不会覆盖标签页，也是新打开一个标签。这让我很苦恼，我之前一直的习惯逻辑都是点开就可以了，而且是点开右边的历史记录侧边栏。我希望能够增加个设置什么的，可以给予用户选择的权利，如果有人希望点开历史覆盖当前页面，则覆盖，希望新打开标签页的则可以打开新标签页。
