how hard would it be for you to hold down the CTRL key while clicking your links?

I have no idea on getting it to work the way you describe; I imagine it's a bug that was introduced in this version which will likely be fixed in a future version. -wes On Sun, Dec 16, 2012 at 7:02 PM, John Jason Jordan <[email protected]>wrote: > I had Firefox preferences set to always open links in a new tab and to > shift focus to the new tab, and it has been working fine for years.
