Re: Favorite link shd open in new tab

never mind... i just figured out how to open the faorites center. as UWJSXY
says, your solution doesn't hold for the favorites on the tool bar menu.
it's a lot of darn clicks just to get a favoite in a new tab.

1. ctrl I
2. scroll to desired favorite
3. right click
4. select open in new tab.

in Opera:

1. bookmarks
2. click ---- done!

and you think i'm gonna get vista? ha!
