One has to right click on a link in order to open a new tab when searching for something. Why is this? Why right click?

Whether I am searching for something in the Mozilla browser and click on a link, (whether in a search engine or in email) i will get taken directly to that link and lose my original place I searched for it. Instead I have to right click on a link and it will open up a new tab. This is insane. How can I make it so that when I click on a link it will open up a new tab (and not lose my place and/or have a completely new page opened up). This worked automatically in Google Chrome without me fiddling with any settings.

Hello Frikkie2020,

When I want to open a link (any link) in a new tab, I just press and hold the
Ctrl key on my keyboard and then click on the link.
That way the link will always open in a new tab.

When I want a link to open in a new window, I press and hold the Shift key.

I hope this will work for you.

Also, you can click the middle mouse button on the link to open a new tab.

I can't ......

I don't use   (have nor want)  a mouse   -   I just use my touchpad   (for everything).
