force links, searches, anything and everything into new tab
There used to be an addon that allowed this, I think it was call tab mix or tab mix plus, something like that. One of your updates ruined this.
I want the option to have any link, selected search result... anything and everything to open up in a new tab. I hate it when I select a link, or something in my bookmarks, and it changes the page I am on, instead of opening a new tab.
Would you please add this option in, not having it is very annoying.
Thank you,
Jim LeVine

Hi. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus-webextension/ Current version contain only "Links" features form legacy Tab mix plus.
Hi Jim, yes, Tab Mix Plus was a powerhouse of options, and there's no single extension that can replace it. Let me give you a group of settings/workarounds:
Bookmarks and Tabs
Left-clicking a bookmark normally open it in the same tab; you can hold down the Ctrl key to direct it to a new tab, or middle-click it with the mouse scroll wheel.
There is a setting to change that so you get a new tab for a regular left-click:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste tabs and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs preference to switch its from false to true
Links and Tabs
By default, Firefox intercepts links that sites send to a new window and opens them in a new tab instead. Sites do that in two ways:
- Setting a target attribute on the link, such as target="_blank"
- Using the script method window.open(), which creates a popup window
But when a site has not specially coded the link, you would normally have to divert it to a new tab yourself by holding down the Ctrl key when clicking, or middle-clicking with the mouse scroll wheel.
There is an add-on to take care of that automatically ("Open Link with New Tab"):
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-with-new-tab/
After installing, you need to use the Add-ons page to set your preferred behavior. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. Then find the extension on the right side and click its Options button or More link. That should take you to the panel where you can adjust its settings. (I'm attaching an old screenshot -- the layout/options might have changed since November, I haven't checked.)
Searches
Did the above take care of searches? If not, could you describe how you're doing your searches in a little more detail.
