If it is based on Chromium, you will have to right click (or use the middle mouse button) to open in a new tab.
(Before I did a fresh install of my OS, I had an extension that open all new tabs in a new window, but I can’t remember what it was.
thanx for that. that’s what I have been doing.
If I go into the bookmarks of speed dial, they open in a new tab (there is an option in settings for it - it being opening bookmarks in a new tab). From the speed dial itself? not so much.
If you remember the extension give me a hoot and a holler.
thanks
