Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs 'When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it.'

Nobody would _guess_ this kind of approach. Changing to enhancement, when used first time ask for setting! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

There are plenty of reasons I could list to not make it the default including "use case" Most of the time I do use tab to open links to read later on to not interrupt the flow of reading the rest of the page. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

You have a point here Hubert, but then, you should be made aware of the option. (I think) I never would have guessed that it's configurable. Where would be "upstream" in this case ?

Where else would it be? As for the option, it is not like it is hidden. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
