Is it possible to integrate to open a new tab when I click on links in the Toolbar Folder?

Very nice program! The last to switch from slimbrowser :-)

I recommend you using another extension called "super drag and go". With that extension, you can drag the links from toolbar folder to your webpage to open it on new tab, which I think is very handy.

Can you add an option for the google searches from the search bar to open in a new tab?

Currently searching through search bar will open a new tab if this extension installed.
Are you wanting an option to enable/disable "search bar to open a new tab"?

It would be very nice to have an option of right clicking back (and i suppose forward) and have it open in a new tab.

This would be useful when using something like a stock search that doesn't allow the stock to open in a separate tab. You could then use open back in a new tab to go back to the stock search page and enter in a different search without losing the tab you're on.

Doesn't (Firefox at least) already have the opening of URL's in a new tab built in? I'm sure I recall an option to do this when ctrl-enter was pressed.

This seems to disable Mozilla keywords support. That's a major bug for me. Had to go with TBE which offers this without that bug. For users who don't need all that extra stuff TBE offers, this bug should be fixed.

--mmaxx,
No such bugs exist for me. Are you using K-Meleon? If it's the case, I never claimed that this extension will work with K-Meleon.

I have to post using K-Meleon because I can't get to post using Firefox for some reason. Anyway, as far as the behavior in question, disabling this extension allowed keywords to work. They weren't working while it was enabled. Maybe it's a conflict with another extension since I installed many of them. That may also explain why I can't post using Firefox here. Weird.

It says on the main page that there is a "14-Sept-04 - Version 0.2 for firefox 1.0 PR". However, when I click on the installation button and try to install it, it says that "it is not compatible with this version of Firefox." and that it "only works with Firefox versions from 0.8 to 0.9.1+". What is going on here? I have Firefox official 1.0PR...

Works fine for me in 1.0

But is it supposed to give the new tab focus? Mine doesn't - it loads the page in a new tab, but the current tab keeps focus. I would like the new tab to receive focus.

When I click about:blank or about:config in the auto-completion list a site www.about.com is opened. When I disable URL2newtab about... works from the list.

This sounds similar to the keywords-bug mmaxx posted.

I would like it to be able to open bookmarks in new tab, and perhaps even the history for those who bend that way.
It's functions I lack, and that seems to be a logical complement to the existing options, don't you think?

Combining with a few other extentions, I'd get the functionality I liked from Tabbrowser Extentions, but without the lag it for some reason created when loading a new tab. (Loading multiple tabs meant I had to wait for half a minute before being able to do anything :/ )

it looks like the TabBrowser Extension available from this site:

offers this functionality (although it is named a little differently.... Location Bar (instead of URL address) - and you can adjust that setting for it to open in a new tab. Pretty cool feature set.

Say I have Tab1 open on www.abc.com and I type www.cnn.com, it opens www.cnn.com in Tab2, but if I click on Tab1, the address bar still shows the text "www.cnn.com" even though the page is on www.abc.com. Can you implement an option of resetting the contents of the address bar back to the URL that was originally there? (I hope my comment makes sense to you!)

It would be a good idea if we could also send webforms to a new tab, just clicking in the send button with holding pressed the "ctrl" key.

There are also some webpages that create javascript links that cannot be opened in a new tab sucessfully - is there a way to work around that, using the same -click solution or something? I'd really love that feature!
