It irritates me for clicked links to open in new window. Without going through the hassle to right-click, select Open in New Tab (which is not the same window anyway and there is no option) is there a utility to override sites such as THIS FORUM so that no clicked links open in a new window?

Firefox 1.5 has an option that forces sites that open new
windows to open in a new tab but it still won't open a link
from this page in a new tab without right clicking it. I'd
like to have the option that you seek also.

At some point that open or not to open new window will be a user option. As the stock code works, it is one way or the other... and went with the majority on it.

Lots of stuff in the works all around.

command-click forces open in tab

command-w closes the top window
and/or the top tab.

I prefer opening in a new window.
I find myself control-clicking links on sites that don't open clicked links in new windows.

command- <-- is such a pain on dial-up when everything has to reload.


command-w became second nature when Safari used to open a blank window when DL a pdf file.

Firefox 1.5 with the Tab Mix Plus extension should do what you need it to do.

i actually like it that this forum opens links in a new window however, i just set Tab Mix Plus (Firefox extension) to 'open links in new tab in same window' and it did override the forum option.

give Tab Mix Plus a try as it has lots of different option combinations. this is one of my favorite firefox toys.

On my MS Intellimouse, center-clicking (clicking with the wheel button) is the same as command-clicking (appears to be the default behavior for OS X, as I don't have the MS Mouse software installed).
