Drew1903 We seem to jump over the fact that a lot of people do not have a third button or mousewheel or middle click (on a Mac here).

Opening a favourite in a new tab would be logical. Like now, i can mention a lot of cases where it would make more sence to do it in a new tab.

Typing this message and do a spell check
Any case where you are doing something in a tab and need something else.

I have trouble thinking about a case where i am finished with the current tab en go to a favourite.

So please, make it a setting.
