Upgrading from 3.6 to 10, I find that a link opens in the current tab not a new one. I don't see this option in options. How do I enable it?

In the old version of Firefox 3.6.x, clicking on a link automatically opened a new tab in the current window. You could option whether to switch to it immediately or just keep opening tabs from links in the tab being used. Now, in 10, I need to manually open a new tab before I click on a link or it will open in the tab being used. No so convenient. I preferred the way it was.

The default behavior of Firefox (all versions) will open a link or bookmark in the current tab when clicking only with the left mouse button.

To open a link or Bookmark in a new tab you can do any of the following:

Some Add-ons allow options to open links and/or bookmarks automatically in a new tab by using only the left click button. You may have had such an Add-on in Firefox 3.6 that 1). is out of date and needs to be updated, or 2). is no longer being updated by the developer of the Add-on and is not working in Firefox 10.
