- Rated 5 out of 5by keyanoo, a year agoWeb developers sometimes override the normal behavior of links with JavaScript. Seems they happen not to think of advanced users, so that Shift/Ctrl+Click doesn't open the link in a new tab, as desired. This add-on fixes this issue. Thanks a lot, saves time and nerves!

Where can I donate to your efforts? - Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 17329665, 2 years agoSadly this bug is too much annoying: https://github.com/danielnixon/link-fixer/issues/58
- Rated 5 out of 5by Charles Cazabon, 2 years agoThank you for this! Far too many sites intercept ctrl-click and end up navigating the original page to the link destination in addition to the new tab that I had it open.
It was really annoying, and now it's perfect. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14603946, 2 years agoThis add-on is awesome. I thought I was going crazy when ctrl+click wasn't opening new tabs sometimes. Fixed my issue.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 10822314, 5 years agoWhy does this addon requests to "Access your data for all websites"? It's explained that "The extension can read the content of any web page you visit as well as data you enter into those web pages, such as usernames and passwords. " I don't this is needed for functioning of the add-on, can you explain please?
Developer response
posted 5 years agoThat's due to "matches" being set to "all_urls". That's required for this add-on to work on all sites.
