Links/Bookmarks do not open in new tabs by default in any version of Firefox; left-click a link or Bookmark opens in the current tab. You may have had some Add-on installed that did that for you. To open a link or Bookmark in a new tab you can do any of the following: *press the mouse scroll wheel on a link or Bookmark *hold down the CTRL key while left-clicking the link or Bookmark *right-click the link or Bookmark and choose "Open in a New Tab" *See: **http://www.7is7.com/software/firefox/shortcuts.html **https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Mouse%20shortcuts Add-ons: *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/?src=ss *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities-lite/ *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/ *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ If you previously used the '''''Tabberwocky''''' extension ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tabberwocky/ ) in Firefox 3.6, the developer stopped updating it after Firefox 3.7a3pre and you may see it in your ''Add-ons > Extensions'' marked as not compatible.

Try to middle-click the link to open the link in a new tab.<br /> The site may have changed the code if the links no longer open in a new tab.

Thanks to both of you for your help. Safebrowser, the things you suggest all work, but I want the link to open in a new tab automatically...I don't want to have to choose every time. Thanks to both of you for coming up with the solution of "middle clicking"..I've tried it and it works :-)

You're welcome. I see a target specified in the links, but I don't know if current Firefox versions are ignoring such a target in cases like this.
