My question is as follows: When I click a link on the main page, instead of opening a new tab in Firefox, it always takes me to the linked page in the same tab. I’ve tried changing settings in about:config, tried two different Firefox extensions to modify link behavior, but that resulted in a few unwanted events. I know I can override this by clicking the scroll wheel or using ctrl while clicking, but that gets annoying after a while. Is there a way to change this?
It’s the actual link itself that decides if it should open in a tab or redirect the current one. If a link ( tag) has the
target: '_BLANK'attribute, it opens in a new tab. Otherwise it usually opens in the same tab.Good to know. Thanks for the insight!
