Hi,

I just started using Safari (just downloaded the full S4) again (instead of firefox) and am loving it - its so quick. But, being used to Firefox, I have it set to open links in a new tab with just a click - not in a new window/navigate away from the current page. Is there anyway to have Safari like this or will have to continue with CMD+click?

Cheers

I would love to know if there's a way to do this as well. It is very annoying to have a new window open.

Like you I used to have a problem with this.

With a simple terminal command you can set Safari to force what would otherwise be a new window, to open instead in a new tab!

Try clicking the scroll wheel on the link. You might have to setup the button as a cmd-click.
Don't know about MightyMouse. Is the ball a button too?

Sweet! I have just settled for right-clicking and choosing "New Tab" for well over a year now! I guess it just didn't bother me enough to ask and I got used to it. Thanks man!

I'm going to update Safari and start using it, it seems like a good browser; plus, FireFox is boring. :D
