Tab Mix Plus new window/current tab problem?

December 9th, 2006 by Benny Chew

Tab Mix Plus logoHave the Tab Mix Plus extension installed in your Firefox and recently encountered weird issues where links which open in new window/tab opens in your current tab instead? It happened to me and ck recently, which after some messing around, found out that the new update to the Tab Mix Plus was the cause of this strange behaviour.

The new setting introduced in version 0.3.5.2 and is automatically enabled (checked) is “Open link with target attribute in current tab”. To revert to how it was before, uncheck that setting in the Tab Mix Plus options and your Firefox would be back to its normal behaviour again.

Screenshot of the Tab Mix Plus options dialog with the setting which needs to be unchecked highlighted:
