when I click on a new site I want it to AUTOMATICALLY come up in a new tab WITHOUT HAVING TO RIGHT CLICK AND PUT 'OPEN IN NEW TAB'. It used to do this but has stopped,..., how do I do this?
Always before when I wanted to click on a new website or a location I found searching google for example, the new website or place I found ALWAYS POPPED UP IN A NEW TAB AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT me having to right click and say 'open in new tab'. For some reason it is not doing that anymore and when I click on an item it is coming up in the tab I am currently in. How can I set FF to automatically open a new tab whenever I click on a new site like it did before? This is driving me nuts since I am not a computer person at all and had it working the way I was used to before. Please help me fix it back. Thank you so much. Celeste

Normally, when you click a link, it opens in the current tab. If you want to open a link in a new tab instead, just right-click on the link and select Open Link in New Tab from the context menu. (from : Opening links in a new tab )
To open a new tab whenever you click on a new site and a lot more... try 1 of these add-ons :

You can middle-click a link with the mouse scroll wheel to open the link in a new tab.
I HAVE A LAPTOP WITH NO MIDDLE BUTTON
You can also hold down the Ctrl key and left-click or use an extension to force opening a link in a new tab.
