Firefox not opening new pages in new tabs
Just updated to FF 5.0 on OS 10.6.6. Got my pref set to open new pages/bookmarks in a new tab, but it just loads them into the current window.
I disabled all of my extensions (Download helper, web dev tools, Firebug, TinyURL generator, Yahoo mail notifier) and no dice.
Arg! What happened?
I appreciate any suggestions.

If you left-click a link then that link is always opened in a the current tab.
You need to middle-click a link or use command+Left-click to open the link in a new tab.
The setting in Firefox > Preferences > Tabs only makes it possible to divert links that specify a target window to open in a new tab instead.
You can look at these extensions:
- Open Bookmarks in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
- Open Link in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/
Ok, thank you for the explanation. I will look into those extensions as well.
