Firefox, opening new tab from a different program.
Is there a way to make Firefox open a new tab rather than opening a new window
when I click a link in an email or news item? Right now, if I launch a URL, a new firefox window opens. I have to copy the url, switch to ff, ctrl-t, ctrl-v, enter. This is rather a pain compared with just double clicking it... Tools>options>advanced>browsing>'Select new tabs opened from links' is checked but that doesn't seem to make a difference. -- Chris Pollard CG Internet café, Tagum City, Philippines http://www.cginternet.net Christopher Pollard |

I have Tabbed Browser Extensions installed. which has the same pref, and it works fine from here. Lee |

That's not the option to get what you're looking for: it "selects", IOW "focuses" on tabs opened from links, otherwise they stay in background. To make Firefox open a new tab instead of a new window, check the option "Open links from other applications in: -> a new tab in the most recent window". Ciao, -- Maria Luisa C - 09/01/2005 9.58.41 |

That sounds like the correct option, but I can't find it... I'm using 0.9.2, maybe I should upgrade? -- Chris Pollard CG Internet café, Tagum City, Philippines http://www.cginternet.net |

I think so  You'll find most of you extensions disabled, but then you can update them. -- Maria Luisa C - 09/01/2005 12.26.05 |
