How can I arrange for a clicked link (say, in a search engine) to open in another tab on same window?
Firefox used to open a clicked link in a new tab on the same window without having to hold the "Cntl" key. If I clicked an item in a search engine (or anything else) the new tab would contain what I clicked and automatically go to the new tab.
Is there a way to set this function in preferences?
Thanks in advance for your help. I appreciate it!

Hi, a few other options -
- Right click > Open Link in New Tab.
- https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dblclicker/ (I use this myself).

Hi BudParker, that's not a built-in feature of Firefox.
A common way that users have direct ALL links to open in a new tab would be an extension such as Tab Mix Plus.
For search engine sites in particular, their preferences pages often include a checkbox to launch results in a new window, which Firefox diverts to a new tab. For example:
https://www.google.com/preferences => "Where results open"
