New Tab from Location Bar by Piro (piro_or)

Rated 2 out of 5
by David Vanderschel, 7 years agoNeither blocking method is satisfactory for me. E.g., with webRequest, it detect clicks on links in Google news as being from Location Bar and incorrectly creates an extra useless tab. (I use Google news a lot and those links would open in a new tab without the extension anyway.) With webNavigation, for a real URL in location bar, it not only loses scrolling position in the current tab, it also causes the browser to waste time completely regenerating the page. I look forward to a solution with neither problem. In the meantime, I will just condition myself to use Alt-Enter on the location bar.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Tubelerczyk, a year agoThrough this add-on, searching from the address bar opens search results in two of the same tabs.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Redfish, 2 years agoNot "needless" as writed in description !
This addon is the only way to open in new tabs the links from firefox history (no other addon do it, no more than about:config).
Must have !

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12978156, 5 years agoATTENTION seems deprecated and needless as per new feature included in FF60.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14269127, 5 years agoGreat - I found that I do still seem to need it in order to make links from the bookmarks toolbar open in a new tab - they weren't doing until I installed this, even though I'd made the config change.
- Rated 4 out of 5by TheWayOfYahweh, 5 years agoThis is a very useful tool, but if only there were a way to have it not effect the Home Button as well. Maybe an option available as to where or not one want their Home Button to be forced into a new tab?

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14718401, 5 years agoThank you so much, domo arrigato! I was going nuts with FF 66 opening URLs and searches in the current tab, even though I'd set "browser.search.openintab" to "true" in "about:config", and I found your add-on. Great job all around, even if I had to tinker with it a little bit. Thanks, Piro-San!
