open in new tab default

I know I can right click, but I'd rather just left click and have it open in
new tab as a default setting.
Obviously, left clicking is what we all do most of the time and it's
frustrating when I left click by mistake and a new window pops up.

I don't see this option in the settings and hoping it's there and someone
can tell me where it is.

Thanks

Re: open in new tab default

That is the only answer?

Click the link with the scroll wheel on your mouse.

Re: open in new tab default

Great tip Bob and thanks for posting this. While I'd still rather have the
left click as a default option at least this saves a step.

Maybe IE 9 will have the default option available.
