in thread How can one find his previous preview page (uncreated)?

... I shift-click the comment on button to open it in a separate tab so that I can continue to interact with the site in the original tab whilst I work on the post

I took to the same approach a while back, with success.
But then for no apparent reason, instead of the mouse-click opening the tab I was selecting (as I intended), it would randomly close that selected tab.
I took this to prove that God does, in fact, exist - though, more probably, it proves that I need a new mouse ;-)

Cheers,
Rob

    I mostly use Opera -- in which shift-click opens the link in a new tab.

    I also use FF for some sites. I took a quick look for an equivalent mechanism but didn't find one.

    Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
    "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". I knew I was on the right track :)
    In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

      For FireFox, install nearly any of the many dozens of "tabs" extensions and you can add mouse and context menu ways to "open in new tab". (I just get frustrated that they all seem to leave out "submit to new tab" or similar.)

      - tye        

        I looked a couple of times for a single add-on to "Make FF work like Opera"; with no joy.

        There are a few that add back individual opera features, but never the ones I most miss.

        In general, I'm too lazy to search through zillions of add-ons. I've got Adblock Plus and Privacy Badger and not much else.

      Middle mouse button will open links in a new tab in FF by default.

        Perfect. Thanks for the info.

      It's Ctrl+click, same as Chrome and Safari. :P
