If your mouse’s scroll wheel is also a button, you can middle click a link.

I was also looking for something like this. Especially something that works in Firefox mobile.

I don’t think so.

Workarounds for desktop usage:

  • extensions to force opening all links in a new tab (example)
  • just remember to use middle click instead of right click (or equivalent key for your device)

I don’t think I’ve left-clicked a link in years. I just pretty much always open whatever I open with a middle click.

However, that’s a post for /c/Lemmy_Support@lemmy.ml

Even better is probably the Github issue tracker

Is there a good way to do this on mobile Firefox? You can hold and open in a tab, but that takes a hold plus a click, and then another click to switch to the tab.

I am pretty sure that there was a setting that opens all links in new tabs, but it could be possible that it only exists in the desktop program.

Let me know if you find anything. Maybe an addon will work.

Not that I’m aware of, no. Would love it, though! Currently resorting to ctrl+lmb

you are the one talking about the left mouse button … BTW on almost any OS you should be able to config the behaviour of the click (on KDE I have letft+right click to emulate the middle click)
