I’m such a n00b. This trick may not be new to the savvier ppl among you out there but it’s NEW to me.
This applies only to the Firefox browser and the trick is: when you move the mouse pointer onto a link, instead of clicking on the left mouse button as usual, click down on the scroll wheel and it will open the link in a new tab.
Previously to open a link in a new tab, I would right-click and then select “Open Link in New Tab”. No more.
Wah. Awesome.
Ok back to regular programming.

Hold the Clt Key down and use your left click as usual.
Ah excellent - if your fingers are already near the ctrl key this could be a better way than to shift your mouse-clicking fingers.

Lmfao, my mother loves it when she discovers new things in Firefox. There’s no way she’ll ever go back to IE
