I think it is common knowledge for most. It's just some people only want to left click on things or they forget to middle click sometimes and are annoyed with multiple windows. I'm not quite sure why my instructions didn't work for Rip. Oh well. Gotta love extensions!

I knew that you can close tabs by middle clicking them, I didn't know middle clicking a link would open it in a tab.

The extension is neat though, I wonder what other extensions FF has.

i got the option, but it still doesnt work for me either

even by changing the settings in about:config for tabs dont work
i set the values for opening new windows & bookmarks in new tabs to true....
same old story, wont open a new tab
