Super Drag And Don't Go?
December 10, 2008 8:08 AM Subscribe
In Firefox, I use an addon called Super Drag And Go to change whether or not a link opens in a new tab or a background tab. I want to have this same functionality in Thunderbird.
I want to be able to control, on a link by link basis, whether a new tab is opened, thereby bringing the Firefox window to the front, or a background tab is opened, which leaves the Thunderbird window in the forefront.
I've found this method of altering Firefox so that all new tabs are opened in the background, but that's not what I want. I want to be able to choose, link by link, which type of tab is used, the same was as I can with Super Drag And Go.
I'm not concerned about how I get this functionality (click+drag, right click + "open in background tab", etc), more that I am able to choose on a case by case basis.
I've tried Googling, but addons.mozilla.org seems to assume that Firefox addons will work in Thunderbird, but this isn't the case.
Is there an addon/tweak that will let me do this? And if so, where?
