Link Fixer Extension

The default behaviour of ctrl+click, shift+click, cmd+click (on macOS) and middle-click when clicking on links is to open the link in a new tab or new window.

This behaviour is sometimes broken by careless developers.

This add-on restores the default behaviour, ensuring the modifier keys always cause links to open in a new tab.

ICU FckMe (ID: 000000d9b11a883d) Voted 3 ★ - Updated 11/08/2022 I liked it when I first got it, but now it's not working right, so only 3 stars for now. I've only had this a short time, about a week or so. At first it worked as I expected, but now it's not. I use this in both Firefox and Chrome and it's doing the same thing where when I open a page, the page doesn't load and I have to refresh each page to finally get it to load. I want to add that I got both through the browser and not off Git Hub. Here is the error code I am getting: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 { "applications": { "gecko": { "id": "{18b670e2-67df-4b26-b9b0-34835d1f062a}" } }, "background": { "scripts": "background-script.js" }, "content_scripts": { "js": "content-script.js" , "matches": "\u003Call_urls>" } , "description": "Restores consistent ctrl+click, shift+click, cmd+click and middle-click behaviour when clicking links.", "homepage_url": "https://github.com/danielnixon/link-fixer", "icons": { "48": "icons/link-48.png" }, "key": "Deleting for safety - in case it's a personal key of mine", "manifest_version": 2, "name": "Link Fixer", "options_ui": { "browser_style": true, "page": "options.html" }, "permissions": "browserSettings", "storage" , "update_url": "https://clients2.google.com/service/update2/crx", "version": "1.11" }
