Andrew Haselgrove (ID: 0000007d83c73389) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 03/21/2017 Settings don't persist between sessions. Enabling external links doesn't work, cause my favourites aren't opened in a new window.

Mike Hennessie (ID: 0000000f1339988d) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/09/2016 Worked for a long time but doesn't seem to be working anymore after restarting the browser. It works if you right click and choose outbound links only from the contextual menu but when you close the browser and launch it again, it starts opening links in new tabs again. I have the default to always be outbound links only too, doesn't help.
