In case you do not know this, but you can right click on "any" link no matter where it is.. i.e. Favorite/favorite bar/link on web page.. etc.... and there will be an option to open in new tab...... I use this option all the time....

    Dennis5mile if you middle-click on a link, it opens in a new tab, no questions asked. Very helpful for me. (Note that some mice don't have this button)

    Dennis5milethank you , i know that, but 3 steps to open an link is much of time i think, many other browsers get the link in new tab just one click , and that make sense

      MarsMas you can also hold down control when clicking any link to open it in a new tab. (this works in every browser I am aware of

      In other browsers, there's an option in Settings to launch all new links in new tabs. I've never enabled it. But when I do want to open a link in a new tab, I just hold down Ctrl while left clicking. Works perfect.

      MarsMas You can also just ctrl + click on a favorite (at least in the toolbar) and the link will open in a new tab.
