How do I disable Tab Redirects?
Firefox 21 will not allow me to right-click on a link and open it in a new tab if that link goes to another page on the same web site. Example: I go to www.oreillyauto.com and search for a part. I find a list of parts and try to open the link to one in a new tab so I do not have to loose my search. When I do The new tab just reloads the same page I was on or it will load the home page. HOW DO I DISABLE THIS FUNCTION?

Does middle-clicking the link work?
Sometimes links that specify a target window will only open with a left-click.
Also JavaScript links won't open properly in a new tab (context gets lost).
No. This is a Firefox issue, not a third party issue. Firefox intentionally redirects all clicked links. Mozilla has this boneheaded idea that this cleans up navigation by eliminating page copies. They call this Tab Switching. I want to know how to turn this stupid thing off.
If you try to open the same URL in more than one tab then you may have the "Switch to tab" feature preventing that.
Hold down the Alt or Shift key while an entry in the drop down list is highlighted to disable "Switch to tab" and see the URL of all entries instead.
- Alt + Enter opens the highlighted URL in a new tab.
- Shift + Enter opens the highlighted URL in the current tab.
- Cursor Right copies the highlighted URL to the location bar in case you want to edit it.
