I'd like to have web links open automatically in a new tab. How do I make this happen?
1. When I open Firefox I have it set up that my gmail page automatically opens. When I want to go to another web site a new tab does not open but replaces my gmail tab. Then I have to use "back" or "history" to return to the gmail page. This gets difficult when I have been surfing the web & then have to go "back" thru numerous web pages. I'd like each web page to open in it's own tab. How do I do this?
2. Also, in google help it stated: " If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab from the context menu. " I tried this & the "Open Link in New Tab" did not appear in the menu. Can you assist me in locating this menu?

If you use Ctrl + left-click or middle-click a link then the link should open in a new tab.
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

In the Options/Preferences->Tab have you checked the option Open New Windows in a new Tab.
You can also hold the Ctrl key down when you click on a link. That should open it in a new tab
Yes, the "open new windows in a new tab" is checked. Using the Ctrl key does not open the web page into a new tab. Still need some help.
