After using Google chrome for a while, where drag and drop links were not yet available, I returned to Firefox and found myself using right click followed by “open in new tab” in the right click menu to open links in new tabs. However, unlike chrome, where that is the first option, I found myself unwittingly clicking on the first option in the right click menu of Firefox which was to “open in new window”. Thats really annoying when you don’t want multiple windows open.
Furthermore, a lot of firefox plugins add unwanted selections to the menu and it becomes a pain in the ~’@? to find what you actually need.
Thats how I found the Menu Editor plugin:
After install, you may access the options through the addon options from the addon menu, or simply press ctrl+shift+s to bring it up.
Simply choose the mu you want to edit and untick, those option you do not wish to appear. As you can see below, I`ve unticked “open link in new window”
…and hey presto, the link is gone from the context menu , and the first option is “open link in new tab”, just like I wanted it.
This is one reason I keep coming back to Firefox, Chrome just doesnt allow a similar degree of customisation just as yet.
