firefox - cant open in a new tab

[bigdan]

this has been happening all day today, i cant right click on links in firefox to open them in a new tab. i have upgraded the browser today to 3.5.2, that may have had something to do w/ it? anyway any idea on how to fix it?

thx

Well does the usual method work, i.e. middle-clicking on them?

My thought as well. I use Tab Mix Plus for my tab management.

middle clicking? i didnt know that was the usual way, ive certainly never done that. i dont even have a middle button on my mouse, just left and right.

Trotter this isnt tab management per se this is just opening a link in a new tab. firefox has always been able to do that, from the very first version if i remember correctly.

works fine for me in 3.5.2

Middle-click = pushing down on the scroll wheel. If your mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel you are still living in the early 90's and there's not much we can do for that.

While I have the option to right-click for opening in a new tab, middle-clicking is much quicker (one click versus two).

wow thats so cool! i never knew about that one!

yup thats working. so i have an alternative solution.



however if this problem could be figured out as well id be grateful.

btw i CAN right click in the URL bar. just not anywhere else on the website.

i disabled some yahoo add-on and now its working just fine. and as a plus b/c of this problem i learned about the middle click feature. nice!

thanks all for your help.


moderators may close the thread now, if there is any such thing.
