In about:config set browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick to true and instead of Ctrl + Click use Shift + Click on links to open them in new windows instead of tabs.
Also uncheck "Open new windows in a new tab instead" in Options in GUI or set browser.link.open_newwindow to 2 instead of 3 (it's the same thing) to make pop ups open in new windows instead of tabs.
There might be an extension to remap the Ctrl/Shift shortcut or abandon tabs altogether but I don't know of any.
Googling turns up results like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ but it's of course not compatible with Quantum.
- dima55 9y agoThanks. I think I already did most of those. But the tab bar is still there, taking up space. And apparently I can't remap keys without an extension, or something.
- bovine3dom 9y agoYou can disable the tab bar with a "user chrome" file such as https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/blob/master/src/static/userChrome-minimal.css https://github.com/cmcaine/tridactyl/blob/master/src/static/... (instructions at top of file). Mozilla is making noises about disabling this eventually, but it works for now.
- moredhel 9y agoI use tree style tabs, and wanted to get rid of the redundant tabs at the top. I used the following: https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1525 https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/issues/1525
- ttctciyf 9y ago> the tab bar is still there I've been using https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-... but it seems this isn't going to make it into the Firefox Quantum era. :(
