One of the first things I did when I got Mozilla 1.0 was set links to open in new tabs, in the background, on middle-click. I know no other way. Its simple and elegant.
FireFox is not letting me do this as I want to. Sometimes, when I middle-click a tab it will not only load in a new tab, but the *current* tab. I downloaded tabbrowser preferences to try to get more control over the situation but I cant seem to find anything.
Not only that, it does it seemingly randomly. Im *trying* to figure out when it does, and Im thinking it does based on "anchor" tabs or something. But I dont know. Because it seems random.
Anyone have any more information on this? Because its annoying enough to get me to switch back to Mozilla.
about:config
type 'singlewindow' into search bar, enable whatever the SingleWindowModePrefs option is, go back into options > advanced, enable uncovered new tab option, enjoy tabbed browsing the way it should work.
Otherwise, I dunno about that middle click wackiness.
