I got tired of having links open in new windows, so I developed this Greasemonkey script. Hope your find it usefull: ----cut here---- // ==UserScript== // @name Window fixer // @description Prevent opening of links in new windows, since it better options are now possible. // @include http://www.stevepavlina.com/* // @include http://stevepavlina.com/* // ==/UserScript== var links; links = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for(i=0;i<links.length;i++) { links[i].setAttribute('target',''); } ----cut here---- |

On my old computer (I haven't installed everything onto this one yet), I had TargetAlert, which would inform me if the link I was hovering over would open a new window. I usually switched over to the scroll button at that point to open up a new tab instead. Firefox 2 seems to do this automatically, though that might be a preference I haven't noticed yet.

The exact same thing can be done in Firefox 2.0 (but I know I had it enabled in Firefox 1.5 as well, don't know the config option) by going to: Tools -> Options -> Tabs -> open pages in a new tab Plus, this will open any javascript-generated pop-ups in new tabs as well. |
