| Sir Noel Plum Senior Studmuffin  1001 Posts 2/03 |  Posted - Feb 18 2005 : 5:26PMSimple question. I've been using this for a week or so now and I really like the tabbing rather than opening multiple windows. However, when a link on a page is of the type that opens in a fresh window (such as you get in these very forums) Firefox always opens a fresh instance of the browser rather than a fresh tab. Is there a way of configuring Firefox to istead open the link in another tab rather than another window? thanks, [Link] |

| Sir Noel Plum Senior Studmuffin 1001 Posts 2/03 | Posted - Feb 18 2005 : 6:30PM Sometimes though you don't know it will open in a new window and being the lazy bastard that I am all that right-clicking and then left-click selecting is too much like hard work LOL! SNP. [Link] |

| Kperv The Cuddler *struck (She slipped) 1818 Posts 1/04 | Posted - Feb 19 2005 : 1:35PM Anyway, the Linux version of Firefox does the "middle-click to open in a new tab" without loading any extensions. [Link] |
| stefank60 Member Gold Trader on ADT 383 Posts 9/02 | Posted - Feb 19 2005 : 6:51PM Glad you got sorted [Link] |

| Kperv The Cuddler *struck (She slipped) 1818 Posts 1/04 | Posted - Feb 20 2005 : 10:37AM The Linux version does this and I haven't installed any extensions. I'm pretty sure the Windows version does too. I think it's the default behaviour. [Link] |

| Harri Patel Senior Member #SDNY he's all yours. -- Michael Steele 5110 Posts 3/03 | Posted - Feb 20 2005 : 6:59PM 2. Maybe I'm slow (see above), but what are mouse gestures? [Link] |
| Bill All-Star Member 5334 Posts 6/00 | Posted - Feb 20 2005 : 10:22PM Wow, what a coincidence. [Link] |
| EL_ Member Browsing with Mouse Gestures 193 Posts 7/04 | Posted - Feb 20 2005 : 11:49PM Mouse Gestures is an extension to firefox. If you haven't installed any they are basically free upgrades/customizations. tons of cool stuff. Pornzilla is firefox with porn friendly extensions. [Link] |
| stefank60 Member Gold Trader on ADT 383 Posts 9/02 | Posted - Feb 21 2005 : 5:20PM for e.g. you can move back a page, move forward a page, open new browser windows etc by clicking and moving your mouse on screen. Quite cool and useful once you get used to em and boy do ya miss em if you move from a browser where you used em to one that doesn't support them. Oh and here's the killer - Micro$oft invented mouse gestures but decided not to include em in IE. Feckin class Gates isn't he [Link] |

Of course that could be because I was just stoking the fireplace. Snowstorm coming. Neat site though. First good reason for actually installing BitTorrent I've had. Whatcha doing at a Linux installation site anyway? Thinking about converting to the Cult of the Penguin? [Link] |
| Loraine Senior Member 1559 Posts 3/04 | Posted - Feb 23 2005 : 8:52PM K, I tripped into the linux site whilst having a squizz at Violet Blue's of tinynibbles.com fame (no not the porn performer) links listing at the slow moving but useful del.icio.us Click "feet" in the tags section at her links page and go take a look at Stuckfast Productions-- the world is truly an amazing place. Just when you think you've got all the fetishes covered... BTW, Rude bits are nice. [Link] |
