    Does anyone know how to get Firebird to interpret a link that opens to a new window, to open to a new tab instead?

        I think there is a plugin to do this (url2tab?). I say 'think', as I updated from 0.9.1 to 0.9.2 and found I had both versions installed - upon removing the old version I then discovered it had removed both versions, as well as all my plugins. :doh: Also, despite being sure that Mozilla renamed it to Firebird, it seems to be called Firefox!

          What works for me is, instead of left button click I would go to the link by clicking on the mouse wheel. It opens the link in a new tab. I am using version firefox 0.9.2

Because, at the moment I forget to right click and say open in new tab, but then it opens in a new window, so I have tabs in one browser window, and then a completely separate browser window sitting on my task bar.

              I knew that already - but I'm talking about when the page has some markup like: <a href="http://new.web.site.com" target=_blank>The Anchor Text</a>

                I know. I like using myie2 with all the mouse gestures where you can just drag the link into another tab. :cool: Since that security ruckus happened I use firefox for most sites .. but I still like using myie2 for CP.

                    Well, i normally just middle-click everything that looks suspicious, but here is a way to disable target="_blank" if you'd wish. IMHO, tab browsing not being quite ubiquitous yet, combined with the general opinion that even target="_blank" is a bad idea, will probably keep target="_newtab" from happening.

                      in firefox click on tools then extensionds, when the dialog opens your going to see a little link get more extensions. Click the link then you go to a web page for firefox extensions. At the moment i am using a extension called tabbrowser extensions. Once you install the plug-in go into extensions left click the "tabbroswer extensions" and click options so that you can tweak it to your specifications. On my browser every relative link stays in the tab, other links are opend in a new tab, the only way a new window is made is if i call for one personaly. hope this helps Discovery consist of seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought -- Albert Szent-Györgyi Name the greatest of all the inventors: accident --Mark Twain

                                You need to download the Single Window (click extensions in the left hand menu then select Single Window) extension for FireFox, works fine. If you mean FireBird (0.7 and earlier I think) then you need Tab Extensions (no link sorry). regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Ian Darling wrote: "and our loonies usually end up doing things like Monty Python."
