Or you could right click the link, and click open in new tab?
That, or learn to use the back button...
It's not hard...

If you use Firefox and you middle-click on any link it will open in a new tab.

However! If you are using a laptop (or a mouse with no scroll ball), this option pretty much flunks all those web browser features, since there isn't a 'middle-click' on those particular objects.Kincyr wrote:as well as IE 7+FRK wrote:Same with Chrome and pretty much every Gecko-based browser.Thissa wrote:If you use Firefox and you middle-click on any link it will open in a new tab.
Although, there is a key-combo shortcut if this is the case.
Ctrl + left click (PC) or Command + left click (Mac)
This key-combo will open your links in a new tab, just as if you 'middle-click' on your mouse.
However! I actually second the notion for links to open in a new tab.
I still like the site to have this feature since, of course, some people forget (like me) or sometimes just way too lazy. Some say the status quo gives people an option, but I say it's better web functioning. Small things count ;)

It doesn't really matter how easy it is to make a new tab, links should open in a new tab anyways.
Most sites have offsite links open in a new tab.
