Webmaster Forum / Browsers / Internet Explorer / November 2006opening a new tab
Is it really necessary to click the little tiny "new tab" button before clicking a URL so that it will open in a new tab? Seems in Firefox that part is much easier; click a URL and it opens in a new tab automatically. No need to click a button first. Am I right? wrong?

Press the CTRL while simultaneously clicking the URL, or if available just use the middle mouse button. Or press ALT+ENTER from the address bar or search box to open in a new tab. BTW, this is also how FireFox 2.0 works. Enter "about:Tabs" in the address bar in IE7 for more tips. > Seems in Firefox that part is much easier; click a URL and it opens in a > new tab automatically. No need to click a button first. My FireFox 2.0 doesn't work that way and I'd find it rather annoying if it did. Thanks, guys; I tried with some of my "Favorites". I have no middle mouse button. If I hold down the Ctrl key, it will *not* open a new tab. If I click the little "new tab" button, then it will. Something wrong here?

Well you didn't specify that you were trying to access your favorites, simply a URL. I assumed you were selecting a link from an open window. How are you accessing your "Favorites"? Try acessing from the "Favorites Center" via pressing ALT-I or the "Star" icon, not the drop down from the "Favorites" on the Menu Bar, then use CTRL key when selecting the link. > I have no middle mouse button.

Ah, I had assumed that clicking a link in my Favorites drop-down list would be no different. You are 100% correct; thanks again; finally got straightened out. Thanks muchly, Maynard!

No need to click a button first. Click left mouse button to open URL in same tab, middle mouse button to open in new tab. |
