Force New Tab is a Firefox browser extension that makes middle-clicking JavaScript-driven buttons, cards, and other interactive elements open in new tabs. It detects URLs through links, data attributes, and other navigation fallbacks while preserving native behavior for standard links.
In the Browser DevTools & extensions space, Force New Tab takes a focused approach. It focuses on opening JavaScript-driven website elements in new tabs when normal middle-click behavior does not work. Force New Tab is a consumer product aimed at firefox users who browse JavaScript-heavy websites. Force New Tab is free to use. It ships for the web and embeddable surfaces.
SurgWaterfox builds and maintains Force New Tab, and it first shipped in 2026. Key capabilities include middle-click support, new-tab opening, and javaScript navigation. The interface is available in 32 languages, including Czech, German, and Greek.
