Is there any specific key shortcut to open any link in the same tab (even if the website specifies it should be opened in a new tab/window)? Like Ctrl+Mouse click forces every link to be opened in a new tab and Shift+Mouse click - new window.

I have already seen this question: https://support.mozilla.org/pl/questions/970999 but I'd like to be able to choose manually every time whether I want to open the link in the same tab or not.

HI the.real.nps, Thank you for your question. I understand that you would like the option to choose whether or not to open a url in a new tab or the same tab each time a link is clicked.

Currently this can be done by right clicking on a link. Each of these options are provided.

I see only 3 options: - "Open link in new tab" - "Open link in new window" - "Open link in incognito window"

There's no "Open link in the current tab" or anything similar.

We had a similar thread last September, which also wasn't solved to the poster's satisfaction: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1018813
