I don't think I've left-clicked a link in years. I just pretty much always open whatever I open with a middle click.

However, that's a post for /c/Lemmy_Support@lemmy.ml

Is there a good way to do this on mobile Firefox? You can hold and open in a tab, but that takes a hold plus a click, and then another click to switch to the tab.

I am pretty sure that there was a setting that opens all links in new tabs, but it could be possible that it only exists in the desktop program.

Even better is probably the Github issue tracker

Much needed feature, I agree!

[–] ndr@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I don't think so.

Workarounds for desktop usage:

extensions to force opening all links in a new tab (example)
just remember to use middle click instead of right click (or equivalent key for your device)

Not that I'm aware of, no. Would love it, though! Currently resorting to ctrl+lmb

[–] Edo78@feddit.it 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you can just middle click to open in a new tab

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not on a trackpad I can't :D

[–] Edo78@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you are the one talking about the left mouse button ... BTW on almost any OS you should be able to config the behaviour of the click (on KDE I have letft+right click to emulate the middle click)

[–] Illecors@lemmy.cafe 2 points 1 year ago

I guess I could. Thanks for the idea!

If your mouse's scroll wheel is also a button, you can middle click a link.

I was also looking for something like this. Especially something that works in Firefox mobile.
