<![CDATA[Switch to the New Tab Immediately]]>I want an option only found in Firefox.
That is, in Firefox, in the Options you can choose to Switch to the New Tab Immediately.
That way, when you're on a web page and you right click on a link or URL and chose 'Open Link In New Tab', the New Tab is open for you and you're transfered to the link you chose. That saves a mouse click and gives an uninterrupted flow of operation.

When opening a tab = Open all tabs at the end

When opening a link in a new tab = Focus the new tab + Prevent all tabs from opening new windows = enabled

opera://extensions

Thanks a lot. Getting there. It does now focus on the new tab, but the new tab is either next to the old tab or in a new window. I need the new tab to be at the end, but selecting this option makes the new tab open in a new window. Any ideas on that?

  • Goto the URL opera://extensions

  • Click "options" for the Classic Tabs extension.

  • Scroll down to the "When opening a link in a new tab" section.

  • Select "Focus the new tab".

Then, you're down and you can close out of the settings tab.

No instructions or any indication of how to access the options I need such as "Switch to the New Tab Immediately" and "Force all tabs to open at the end of the tab bar".

Can you help? Thanks!

  • Hold down ctrl and shift and left-click.

  • Drag up on the link and drag it to the tab bar.

  • Drag down on the link with the right mouse button.

  • Install https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/classic-tabs/ and in its options, select "Focus the new tab" under the "When opening a link in a new tab" section.
