Quick question regarding Camino

Ok, well so far this is my favorite web browser because of the sure simplicity, seems fast for me, and doesn't take up much resources as others tend to do.

The one annoyance I have with it right now is that underneath all the preferences, I can't seem to figure out how to make it so that everytime I click a link in a page it opens the link automatically in a new tab, instead of a new window. I'm tired of holding down the command key just to get it to open in a new tab. Is there away from holding down the Command key and setting it so that it automatically opens in a new tab instead of window??

Here is the configuration. The Tabs Tab. That one option should open links in a new Tab.

Edit: click that option then you have to hold the Apple/Command key and click and it opens in a new Tab. Just tried it.

Hmm, that configuration doesn't work for me. Every time I still click a link, it still opens it in a new window.

in other words when you click a link hold down the Apple key then click.

Oh, yea I knew that, I just wish there was a way so that you DIDN'T have to hold the Apple/Command key. I would just like to be able to click on a link and have it automatically open it in a new tab.

Yeah same here. I guess for now that is the only way.

This is one of the main reasons I use Firefox. There are skins that can make Firefox look more "Mac-like" too.

Get camitools. There is an option to force all links to a new tab. I still get a stray new window but only very, very rarely.
