open links in webpage in new tab when redirected to new website

Hi,

When visiting a page, I would like for the browser to open the link in a new tab when it goes to a different website. For example, if I am visiting www.SiteA.com and I click on a link on that page that sends me to www.Site-Somewhere-else.com, I would like that link to open in a new tab instead. How do I do that?

This request should work for websites like Google where you do a search for "restaurants near me". It returns you a list of restaurants near you and you can visit each restaurant's website by clicking on the restaurant and then the website button. This sends a request back to Google which then Google tells the browser to go to that website. Today, it opens that restaurant's website in the same page as my "restaurant near me" list.

The workaround today is that I have to right click to bring up the browser's pop-up menu and click "open in new tab" which I find annoying and sometimes I forget to do that.

Is there a way I can do this in some "about:config" setting today?

Thanks!!!

Firefox does not have a built-in feature for this, but there is an add-on that can do it for regular links (may not work for scripted links). You need to specify the "different site" behavior in its options.

I did try the add-on. It doesn't work, as you indicated, for my "restaurants near me" example which I think is a scripted link. But it did work for other websites. So, I am mostly pleased. It would be nice for firefox to put in native support for this to allow for a full solution.

Thanks for the add-on suggestion.
