open in NEW window #4

Closed 150d closed 5 years ago

150d commented 5 years ago

Would it be possible to open a link not in an existing, but in a new window?

Also, could there be separate options to open this new window in the foreground or in the background?

Regards

Wouldn't that just be the usual open link in new window? Firefox already have that by default, and I don't plan to extend it.

No, Firefox does not allow to "open in background" by default. For Firefox v58 there was a plugin ("open link in..."), but this doesn't work anymore with v60.

Yeah, I get it, but the scope of the plugin is opening link on other window for simplicity of maintaining it. If I would to implement that, it would be called "Open link in new background window" lol

@150d please, do you have an address for that add-on?

No exact match at https://addons.mozilla.org/search/?q=open%20link%20in&type=extension … maybe it was removed.

@grahamperrin No, I'm afraid I don't. I removed it after it stopped working with Firefox v6x, and didn't even keep a copy myself. :-(

There are plugins available to open in background tabs, but not in background windows... :-(
