My question is as follows: When I click a link on the main page, instead of opening a new tab in Firefox, it always takes me to the linked page in the same tab. I’ve tried changing settings in about:config, tried two different Firefox extensions to modify link behavior, but that resulted in a few unwanted events. I know I can override this by clicking the scroll wheel or using ctrl while clicking, but that gets annoying after a while. Is there a way to change this?

    IIRC Ctrl + Click also opens stuff on new tab, or at least, it did.

    But you should utilize the middle click more. It’s a really handy stuff for opening in new instances or closing.

      I use the middle mouse button a lot, it’s just that I’m not used to a site not working ‘like it should’ (which is just my preference, I know). I mean, if Lemmy is a bulletin board or aggregate, I’m sort of expecting a certain type of behavior.
