how do i stop firefox from opening links in new tabs?
sometimes a website link opens in new tab, but I only want it to do that when I tell it to from ctrl+click.

Re: how do i stop firefox from opening links in new tabs?
With a Mac, that would be Command-click. Some links are set to open in a new window, which Firefox changes to opening a new tab. I know of no way to force that kind of link to open in the same tab. There is a cursor change you can use to tell which links will open in a new tab and which will open in the same tab. Use this in the userContent.css file:
If the link will open in a new tab, the cursor looks like a crosshair when you mouse over it. If the link will open in the same tab, it will look like a hand with a pointing finger.
Code: Select all
/* Change cursor for links that open in new window/tab */
:link[target="_blank"], :visited[target="_blank"],
:link[target="_new"], :visited[target="_new"] {
cursor: crosshair;
}
If the link will open in a new tab, the cursor looks like a crosshair when you mouse over it. If the link will open in the same tab, it will look like a hand with a pointing finger.
