Atleast in firefox you can drag and drop images from the forum to the tab bar and it opens in a new tab. Same thing goes for external links

I can also press the right mouse button and select open in new tab.
Or i can rightclick and select copy link, then i can open a new tab and paste the link in it.
There are many ways to do that, but i preffer a one click solution...

If you have ever use a touchpad on a laptop, then you know what i mean...

You can also press the middle mouse button to open the link in a new tab, if you want a single click solution.

I always do it like that and therefore think that the current solution is better: Middle click when you want to stay on the current page, left click when you want to change the page.

I bought a new laptop yesterday, and 3 mice 5 minutes ever for it, to test which one was best. I can send one over to you :)

besides drag and drop is a one click solution, and im pritty sure you can overcome clicking the tab the mouse is over to actually see it hehe

I need to correct myself.
Drag and drop IS a one click solution, under prefferences you set new links to open in new tabs.
done deal.
