onemen,
since you said 'no' to my begging about a drag down to open link in the current tab, what would you say about a double click to do the same? Mclicking is very inconvenient to me (mouse sucks and my hands are getting almost as old as i am). Moderating this forum, for instance, i do a lot of links clicking and i don't want tabs for all of them. But after Mclicking for half an hour, i often need an ice bath for my wrists. Ctrl+Click is a pain on its own (i usually need my left hand for head scratching while looking at the spam we get).
Please?

i don't quite understand this. isn't normally link opened in current tab unless the user specified to open it in new tab or there's something in the code that specified "this" link be opened in new tab?

onemen,
somebody gave me a code to drag links to open in the current tab. Would you consider adding that?

window.addEventListener('mousedown',grabLink,false);window.addEventListener('mouseup',dropLink,false);var isMoving=false;function grabLink(){isMoving=true;window.addEventListener('mousemove',moveLink,false)}function moveLink(move){if(move.target.href&&isMoving){mostRecentWindow('navigator:browser').gBrowser.selectedTab.label=move.target.href;loadURI(move.target.href);dropLink()}return true}function dropLink(){isMoving=false;window.removeEventListener('mousemove',moveLink,false);return true}function mostRecentWindow(inType){return Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow(inType)}

this function belong to extension like

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -dragtogo/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... dragandgo/

my settings are
Force to open in new tab : noting.
Lock New tabs : true.

then if you want links to open in the current tab just unlock it

I know all this and none of it works for me. I don't need another ext. that pretends to be a browser just to do 1 - ONE - thing. Locking/unclocking is not an option. I open dozens of spammer' profiles on this forum alone. I don't want new tabs for them all (and each consecutive click to ban+delete, etc.). So, locking/unlocking dozens of times w/in a minute is not an option. Mclick hurts my hand + i get the smooth scrolling button instead (on a misclick) too often.
Session manager belongs to a session managing ext. yet it's in TMP. I'd bet the code is a lot longer than a couple of lines above.

Since somebody else did the job, i thought i'd ask again if you can add all ready code since you have all sorts of ways to open links on clicks.

NM! That somebody made me an extension. I'm totally happy again.
