User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8.0.1) Gecko/20060214 Camino/1.0 I can't find a way to do a common activity (opening links in a new page) under Firefox. I'm happy to use tabs for situations where I want to switch back and forth between pages. However, I often need to look at multiple pages at the same time; tabs aren't the right answer for this. Ideally, I should be able to specify one of three ways for the browser to handle a link: * replace the current page in the current window (a simple click does this) * add a new tab, showing the new page (command-click does this) * bring up the new page in a new window (I can't find a way to do this) Reproducible: Always
Shift click opens in a new window on windows. Also right click and "Open in New Window".
I've just been informed that shift-click opens a link in a new window on Mac's as well.
