Open in New Tabs is a Firefox extension for sites that intercept link clicks with JavaScript and prevent Cmd+click from opening a new tab. It restores the usual behavior on sites the user chooses, so the current page stays open while the target opens in a background tab.
The extension is described with examples from ebookjapan.yahoo.co.jp, where bookshelf items that look like ordinary links are handled by the site’s own JavaScript. In that case, Cmd+click can be ignored unless the site is added to the extension’s list, after which covers on the bookshelf can be opened one by one in background tabs while the bookshelf tab remains in place. It also applies to other registered sites where ordinary links are intercepted and the browser modifier key is swallowed.
Open in New Tabs stores the site list locally in the browser and sends nothing anywhere. It requires no account and no server. The page also says it is coming to addons.mozilla.org, with the install link to appear once the listing is published. No pricing or licensing information is stated in the provided text.
