When I click on a link in a webpage in Firefox, generally it opens the new page in the window i am in (though some times it does not). How do I get it to open a new window (or tab) each time I click a link.

For example, on www.bbc.co.uk if I click on a link, the new page opens in the same window, if I then click another link in the new window, again, it opens in the same window. To get back to the original window, I have to use the back button twice. Surely there is a setting so that all 3 windows can be open on separate tabs or separate windows.

I have been to the tabs window in options, but doesn't seem to make a difference.

Open link/bookmark in new tab in same window:

  • Middle-click (press the mouse scroll wheel) the link
  • Ctrl+left click the link
  • right-click the link, choose "Open Link in New Tab"

Open link/bookmark in new window:
