How can I force a new page to be opened in a new tab, rather than a new windows?

Featured Replies

I am using Firefox to browse websites. There is a website that I visit every day but most of their hyperlinks are opened in a new pop-up windows which is very inconvenient. I once used another computer and happened to find out that their hyperlinks were opened in the new tab, rather than a new pop-up windows. I like this.

I am certain that It wasn't because of the update of the website, it was only because of the setting of the user side.

How can I make it?

 

 

“When you middle-click on a Web link (or hold down Ctrl while clicking with the left mouse button), the page will be opened in a new tab.”

There’s apparently a setting, but that can be overridden by the web page

You could also right click on the link and choose the first option.

No. I am not writing webpages.

I mean, there is a website I visit frequently, almost every day. But many of their hyperlinks are opened in new pop-up Windows. I hate it, I'd like to let them always opened in new tab, rather than a new pop-up Windows. I think it won't involve any programming, right? I am NOT writing websites.

I have an option for it in the Firefox settings..

"Open links in tabs instead of new windows"

I always use pressing Ctrl+hyperlink, as suggested by Swansont.

Fast.
