FireFox-opening new tabs, a suggestion

I'm switching to FF, but would like for it to open a new tab, rather than a
new window, when I select a new site from my Bookmarks. This said, I have
checked "select new tabs opened from bookmarks or history" in the Browsing
section of the Advanced option. Nonetheless, when I click on a bookmark, it
opens a new window, not a tab.

I suggest that the Mozilla people work on this one.

That's correct. The option isn't called "OPEN NEW TABS", it's called
"SELECT new *opened* tabs". That option tells Mozilla you want the
latest tab opened to become active. Deselecting the option lets new
tabs open in the background.

If you want to OPEN a new tab, you need to middle-click on it or
right-click and select "Open in New Tab". To work in "single window
mode" (like you want) you'll need to install the extension "Tabbrowser
Preferences".

You suggest? I'm sure they'll get right on it!

 

I would like that same feature as well. The plug in on the link you
suggested won't install on v1.0

 

_no_, martedì 21/set/2004:

It's an extension.
v 0.6.12 is compatible with Firefox 0.9.X, Firefox 1.0PR and Firefox nightly
builds:
