How can I do this with Firefox?
Is there a way to get Firefox to open new tabs in the same window for any links I click with the LEFT mouse button? Also it needs to keep the page I am currently reading reading on top. Whenever I surf I like to have the main page open and as I'm going down it I click any link that is useful... (Especially with forum reading) I have checked all the Tab extensions and none seem to carry such a feature.
Lets say my main page is the "Wilders Security Forums > Privacy Software and Issues" area. I usually have to right click and 'open link in new tab' all the topics I would like to read. By the time I'm done selecting all the topics I have about 20-30 tabs open. Then I read them one by one and ethier x them out or reply to them (and them x them out when done with each) Quite honestly the right clicking and then selecting 'open link in new tab' is just not short enough for my so called 'powersurfing'. Am I lazy? I even have shortcuts to all programs on the Quick Launch so that I can open any program even if something is taking up the screen. - You won't find any icons on my desktop and rarely do I use the Start button. Thanks for your help in advance, Mikk Auður

I knew Ron would find this one! I looked in the extensions, but there were too many sort through. I gave up.

Hmm, I'm not sure if it's necessary to get tab mix plus for what the OP wants. Being a while, but Doesn't firefox's build in features allow that too?

Re: How can I do this with Firefox?
FF version 1.5 has brought around a few changes in the way tabs work.
Included are the ability to move the tabs around and forcing links that would have opened a new window to open a new tab instead. This doesn't mean that all links will force a new tab by default. Some will simply clear & reload the new page in the existing tab. I suppose it is this action that MakoFusion wanted to have some influence over. I also lost a preferred option after going to 1.5 which was the ability to press Ctrl and left mouse button to force a new tab on demand. Tab Mix Plus has restored this. Cheers all & thanks ron for the heads-up on this extension.
