FireFox Tabs

Hi,
I try for the first time to works with tabs today, so i set new pages should be opened in new tabs in tools/options/tabs. In my bookmarks if i clic on the windows BBS link the page opened in a tab, if i go back and clic for another link let see SillyDog701 link, the tab of windows BBS is reloaded with SyllyDog701 instead of opening a second tabs that's the way tabs suppose to works?....Thanks

 

Gaston,

Right click the Bookmark, and select: Open link in new Tab

OR

You can right click on any Toolbar and select: Customize

From the "Customize Toolbar" drag the "New Tab" icon to your Navigation Toolbar. You can open a new tab, and then open your Bookmark link for another site.

 

Hi Gaston,

FF's tab settings don't always seem to work as you would expect. But, if you right-click on a link or a bookmark, the context menu will give you the option to open it in a new tab (or a new window). I've been doing it that way for so long that it's become second nature.

I would suggest, too, that you install the Tab Mix Plus extension, which will give you far more tab options than FF does as written.

 

I never paid attention to this (lack of) feature. I had, for the longest time, used the Open in new windows setting, and only recently changed to Open new pages in a Tab. This does not happen with a bookmark, but right click takes care of that.
I, personally, don't mind that, and my open in a new window was a reaction to Netscape8.x which opened new tabs, at the slightest provocation, without opening them.
