Dear Steve, There is nothing in the Tools -- Tab Settings Option that can open new Tabs Directly by Left Clicking, other ways work i.e. Right click and select Open in new Tab or Middle Click, But how to open new links in new Tabs Directly by Left Clicking the way it works in Firefox?

[Steve R Jones]

When I look in the tab settings i see "Open New Tab next to current tab" and "New Tab in the current window" both of which when combined will open a new tab when left clicking.

Dear Steve, I do have the same settings selected but when I left click on a link it opens in the same tab, I fail to understand the reason, is it possible that the there was some problem with install as I directly downloaded it from microsoft, I have purchased genuine XP-SP2. Thanx for the replies

When using either Internet Explorer or Firefox, there are three ways (that I know of) to open a new tab when you follow a link on a webpage:

1. Use the mouse wheel to click the link.
   
   
2. Press [Ctrl] as you left-click the link.
   
   
3. Right-click the link and then select Open in New Tab.
