After looking for a solution and finally trying a few this one is the best that I have found. Ok, there is a little tricky thing with the settings. It works really close to what I am looking for better than anything else I found. It seemed to do what i wanted basically when I am on a web page and I click on a link I want it to open into a new tab. The only thing that would make it better is if there was a setting that prevents me from jumping to that tab immediately, as I often like to open multiple possible tabs and then click thru each one to see if it was in alignment with what I was researching. Anyway, I noticed that when I installed it, the addon worked like i wanted to or close enough but when i went into the settings it and tried any of the 3 radio buttons it stopped opening links into a new tab. HERE IS THE SOLUTION JUST UNINSTALL IT AND THEN REINSTALL IT AND IT WILL RESET THE DEFAULT. *** For the developer great job. 1 request: it would be nice to have the option to open the links in a new tab but not for you to go to that tab immediately.
