Firefox Question

ok now that im using firefox (thats to the pixelperfect mod). i have a question.

im kinda new to the tab bar deelly, is there a way for new windows to pop up in the tab bar and open in the same window, instead of a new window opening.

sorry if this is a retarted question.

thanx

i swwweaaar it's some where in the options. but i've looked through it 10x and can't seem to find it. I know if you middle click on a link it does new window. ctrl+t is create a new tab.. i'll keep looking for the option.

Edit: Found it. Tools->Options->Advanced->Browsing->Open links in background

Alternatively, download Preferential and look within the options there. Pretty extensive resources for that extra bit of customisation. ;)

go into tabbrowser extension options,

First go to 'advanced' section and set it to 'single window mode' . THIS is what prevents multiple browser windows(you'll get the rare one).

Second go to the 'advanced user' section--->'open in new tab always' and tick all the boxes you want(probably all except for any link, as sometimes its better to navigate within a site in the same tab).

Deleted's advice is handy, as opening links no longer makes them steal focus.

I don't know why aquarius told people to untick all for his skin.

I dont get what your saying. You want links to open up in the same tab? it does that by default, if you want links to open in a new tab click the link with the middle mouse button. If you want them to open in a new window Shift+click the link.

wow hey, thanx for all the responces. ill give them all a try.

@lostspider. what i want is instead of a new window opening up, the new window would open up in the same window under a new tab. so i dont have extra windows open.

edit: @realitybath as far as i can tell it worked. thank u very much

If your mouse has a middle button just use that or you could just double click the tabbar and a new tab will open up. Also, ctrl+ t opens a new tab.

yeah, but this way is nicer and smoother, left click should do what you want in the first place not ctrl or a skinny wheel button, or something, this way you can save those for forcing some rarely wanted action.
