Feature request: Open a Favorite in a New Tab Automatically
Clicking your mouse wheel, its '3rd button, does that. Of course, it doesn't or wouldn't make sense, were it the case, but... just open the desired Favorite by tapping your mouse-wheel & and it will be another tab 😊.

Doesn't really help those of us who don't always have a mouse with us.
When I'm on my laptop, I have my mouse. When using my tablet, there's no keyboard or mouse. I need to be able to tap and open in a new tab without the hassle of a long press and additional tap. Option is still needed, not a work-around on how to do it with a wheeled mouse. Not everyone is at a desktop all the time, and Edge needs to meet everyone's needs. It's why I'm testing with different hardware from most testers.

rhapdog Exactly. I already knew you could do this via a context menu option. What I want is a general setting to have favorites open in a new tab every time, by default, on tap or left click.

Being like Winnie the Pooh with only a wee brain, I'm lost as to whether there is any point to saying this (here & now) or not...
Middle click, is what will do it not, left. Middle click on the wanted Fav, it opens in an added tab. The reverse will close a tab, too.
Anyway, if this is, already, known or doesn't apply in the context of this thread, just ignore it, no worries.
