- I do not see the Microsoft window flag into the window 10 pro futures. did Microsoft will add the flag future into the window 10. because this is most important
- Can anyone see and set Open Favorites in New Tab default setting in the Settings/Appearance/Customize Tool Bar section?!? If you are like me, this setting is not showing up! EDGE TEAM, please bring it back!!
- I have the same issue; using the latest edge dev. No sign of option for opening favorites in New Tab.

Visliar have you tried using the mousewheel to click to open links?
If you click on any link / icon* via the mouse wheel, it will open up the link in a new tab. Left click still opens it in the same window and right brings up the context menue. This also works if you have a folder.* this works on any decent website in both Edge and Chrome, unless the stupid webdesigner disabled it with useless javascript code.
- nicolesimon That's a brilliant trick, thanks !
Forget all these instructions your seeing lately. Scroll down further in this topic or click here and follow those step by step instructions....

- Yes, thank you, these instructions worked for me 🙂
Dennis5mile OMG!! You have saved my sanity! I have been looking for a solution to this issue for well over a year now trying to find an extension in the Chrome or Edge stores that will do this (can't believe none exist, BTW) or to tell me where I overlooked this in the Settings... (again, I REALLY can't believe this is not an option as is evident by this and many posts I've seen requesting this feature!) or even a way to make this change in the config settings, but to no avail. This is something that is EASILY accomplished in Firefox and has been for as long as I can remember (that and Colorful Tabs which is STILL not a thing in a Chromium-based browser and I am not sure why that is either, but I digress...) and I have been going mad trying to figure out how to accomplish what I thought should be relatively straight-forward. The only caveat to this that I see since I added this option is it appears to add to the amount of RAM that Edge uses, but we'll see if that is a major factor.
Again, thanks for this! Though I'm sure I will forget it's there from time to time and still right-click, I'm glad I no longer have to!
Download TAB ACTIVATE from chrome store. Install - Restart your computer and bookmarks will open in new tab and move to it immediately exactly as in Firefox.
- Just to clarify I am referring to Microsoft Edge.
- Nope, doesn't work. Bookmarks still open in the currently active tab.
- If you're using an external mouse, just middle click on the bookmark to open in a new tab. (If you have a scroll wheel, clicking on this usually works as a middle click.)
Bring it back please
