Open in a new window / Shift+Click --> Ctrl+Click?

Post by ButchZ »

Hi!

I am new in Firefox (111, Portable). According to my settings the click behavior is:
Click = same Tab, Ctrl+Click = new Tab, Shift+Click = new window.

Is it possible to change Shift+Click to Ctrl+Click (to open in a new window?

No, that isn't possible and there is the extra Shift modifier (Shift+Ctrl and Shift+middle-click) to open a new tab that toggles the focus/background setting as set in "Settings -> General -> Tabs".

I didn't see a pref to change the default behavior in the source.
