Resolution: --- → FIXED
Target Milestone: --- → 88 Branch

Verified that this works as expected in latest Nightly 88.0a1 across platforms (Windows 10, macOS 11.3 and Ubuntu 18.04).

Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED

The commit message says that it should now only default to opening in a new tab. Is there still a way to open images in the same tab then? I wasn't able to glean anything from the diff in that regard, and I didn't find a corresponding pref in about.config either.

We could make it so that ctrl/command + click or middle click opens in the same tab. I thought that I had done that, but it doesn't seem that way. Regardless, that should be a new bug.

Thank you; I created a new issue at Bug 1699128. I wasn't sure how to set the milestone to the 88 Branch, but I hope the rest of the information is sufficient for tracking.

Depends on: 1706487

Major issues with the above change:

  • left click and middle click do the same now.
  • no option anymore to open link in current tab

My suggestion to approach this is to extend the whereToOpenLink() function, see related issues:

IMHO we should eventually be able to have

  • left click open in either new foreground tab or (optionally) current tab
  • middle click open either in new background tab or (optionally) new foreground tab
