- Rated 2 out of 5by David Vanderschel, 7 years agoNeither blocking method is satisfactory for me. E.g., with webRequest, it detect clicks on links in Google news as being from Location Bar and incorrectly creates an extra useless tab. (I use Google news a lot and those links would open in a new tab without the extension anyway.) With webNavigation, for a real URL in location bar, it not only loses scrolling position in the current tab, it also causes the browser to waste time completely regenerating the page. I look forward to a solution with neither problem. In the meantime, I will just condition myself to use Alt-Enter on the location bar.
- Rated 5 out of 5by wilf21, 7 years agoThis is just what I needed. My two most important features from Tab Mix Plus were 1) open bookmark in new tab (provided by browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInTabs preference), and 2) open url typed into location bar in a new tab when enter is pressed - you have provided this one for me by way of this add-on ... many, many thanks.

- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 13617718, 7 years agoI agree with Roenick about the extra tabs opening. Happens most annoying with links Gmail. Happens if "webRequest" button is selected. If I select "webNavigation" button extra tab doesn't open, but typing a url in the location bar results in that page being opened in current tab instead of a new tab. Hope this can be fixed so I can rate 5 stars.
- Rated 5 out of 5by bwaldron, 7 years agoI am also seeing extra tabs opening from Gmail links; that issue is fixed by switching to webNavigation.

- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13596644, 7 years agoDoes exactly what it's called. This simple but very useful feature should be included in FF. One request: would it be possible to open the new tab right next to the current one instead of at the end of the tabs ? Thanks

- Rated 4 out of 5by Richard, 7 years agoI like this but there are issues. Regardless of the options if I have the first radio button under the Blocking Method selected and then under the "For a URL which has the origin same as the current page" selected I get an unnecessary tab opened up. I've tried checking and unchecking the "open as a child" option to no avail. I still get this blank tab that opens up next to the original tab and then the bookmark opens up next to that. So I have three tabs, the original, the blank tab and then the bookmark tab I wanted opened up. Is there a way to set this up so I don't have this extra middle tab opening? Thank you! I hope you can fix this! Richard
