    Middle click tab opening stopped working in Firefox

    My Firefox is up-to-date and equipped with Tab Mix Plus plugin. Somehow, when I am holding the left CTRL on my keyboard and left-click on a link, no tabs are created. After disabling the Tab Mix Plus plugin, the problem is resolved. I have pored over the options of the plugin and can't find anything relevant.

    I must have missed something. Please help. :)

    Note : if you click with the scroll wheel on an link it will be opened on a new tab

    With tabmix + it's always available. It's not the solution for your problem, but an alternative way to proceded

    I'm sick of the inconsistent behavior of clicking on links in Firefox. I want control of where they open up. If I'm done with a page and want to replace it with the link I am clicking, I left-click. If there are things I want to look at in the future, but I'm not done with this page yet, I'll middle-click. This normally works, but there are exceptions.

    • If the website designer uses target="_blank", my left-click is overridden and the link opens in a new tab/window.
    • If the links are javascript, a middle-click rarely works. I get an (Untitled) tab with some javascript as the URL.
    • etc.

    How do I fix these things and get consistent clicking on links?

    I use Tab Mix Plus primarily for its ability to control how things are opened, but it's also got a ton of other features.
