experts with firefox wanna help me tweak some stuff?

[trev]

i know, i know, google, but i've tried and i feel like i'll be reading through guides for days before i find the few tweaks i'm looking for.

first one shitting me is: bookmarks - default left click opens them in the current tab, i want it to open in a new tab.

[sleeper]

you know that you can middle click any link or bookmark and it opens in a new tab right? click in the mouse wheel. id just do that, but if you really want to use left click this probably has that https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/158
if not there are a bunch of other tab preferences extensions

[trev]

haha. i knew about the middle click thing on links, didn't even think of using it in a menu.

that'll do fine, cheers.

ok tweak number 2: how do i (what code to i need) to change the font colour of the main menu (file, tools, bookmarks etc.)?

i'd rather tweak code using the chrome/content files and about:____ pages rather than using addons if possible.

youre going to have to open system 32... have you administrator access on the computer youre using? if so i could walk you through it

[trev]

yeah it's my home pc, i've just never used firefox much before, want to tweak it to the max if i can.

cheers for the help. sys32, i assume you mean windows/system32 directory?

stick this in your userChrome.css, pal:

menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem {
color: lavender !important;
}

while i'm waiting i'm just gonna throw number 3 out there too:

when you type a word/phrase into the address bar and hit enter, it googles what you typed. all good, but it does it in the current tab. can you make it default to a new tab?

the same as the google toolbar does, but i've removed that to save space.



edit - thanks tc! gonna try it out now
edit 2 - works great.
