Can't be sure if it will work 100% for every site but so far so good. Great fix for an issue that shouldn't exist.

Honestly I'm baffled that Firefox is capable of overriding link scripts with middle click but allows them with ctrl click. All these sites do is turn it into a regular left click, so they aren't adding anything, only stripping functionality from the user.
Your site has some fancy unique functionality? Cool, I'll use it if I want to use it, don't force me to.

Sadly, it does nothing on Google Images

This does not work on Mac Firefox. Specific example: on theathletic.com, links will still open in the same tab, not a new one, using cmd+click.

Doesn't work on reuters.com

Thank you! This should be an option built in to Firefox.

Web developers sometimes override the normal behavior of links with JavaScript. Seems they happen not to think of advanced users, so that Shift/Ctrl+Click doesn't open the link in a new tab, as desired. This add-on fixes this issue. Thanks a lot, saves time and nerves!

Works like a charm!

Those that write scripts, patches, and hacks for broken software are my saviors. This app is a Godsend for all those godforsaken websites that break default functionality for no reason. THANK YOU!!!

Where can I donate to your efforts?

Sadly this bug is too much annoying: https://github.com/danielnixon/link-fixer/issues/58

It works. Thank you danielnixon

Thank you for this! Far too many sites intercept ctrl-click and end up navigating the original page to the link destination in addition to the new tab that I had it open.

It was really annoying, and now it's perfect.

This add-on is awesome. I thought I was going crazy when ctrl+click wasn't opening new tabs sometimes. Fixed my issue.

doesn't work on zakupy.auchan.pl

A great time saver. Some of the sites I use for my job break middle click for opening new tabs. Grrrr. :( But this plugin fixes them perfectly! A+ Thank you!

Just saved me about 1000 gumtree clicks by restoring ctrl+click to open in new tab, thanks.

Doesn't seem to work on Eversource's website to view bills. This is their code.
