Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab?
I want to be able to open bookmarks in the same window without having to right click and then select open. I would like it to be like internet explorer where you have the option to open a bookmark in the same tab or new tab. I had downloaded an add on that solved the problem with a simple right click to open in new tab and left click to open in same tab. This makes things soooo much easier. Am I missing an add on or a configuration where I can solve this problem. Thanks for your time.

Left-click should open a bookmark or link in the currently selected tab.
Ctrl+left-click or middle-click should open a bookmark or link in a new tab. (middle-click = press the scroll wheel)

No for some reason left click opens the bookmark in a new tab. I had an add on that made it perfect but for some reason it got deleted. I just want to be able to left click and opena bookmark in the same tab and right click to open the bookmark in a new tab. Is there an option or tool setting that allows me to do this or is this not allowed in firefox. Thanks
Ok, I turned off all the add-on's and that seems to have stopped the left click problem. Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab." Internet explorer has the arrow that allows you to do this but firefox doesnt seem to have this. Thanks
Very, very, very confusing!!!!! Exactly which is it that you want to do????? Left-click = same tab or left-click = new tab???? Your initial subject line: Is there an option to left click and open a bookmark in the same tab and right click to open bookmark in new tab? Your last post (3rd post): Is there a way I can left click and automatically open a bookmark in a new tab...
''''...rather than having to left click and then select "open in new tab."'''' Right-click, not left-click, has the "Open in new tab option".
Easy answer is listed in my initial reply; left-click, same tab; middle-click, new tab!
What are your Extensions? -List them. -You obviously set up some extension with some kind of conflict.
To find out which Extension is causing the problem, enable one-at-a-time, restart Firefox for the change to take effect (File > Restart Firefox), test. When the problem re-appears, you know the extension causing the problem.
