Is there a way to make diigo bookmarks open in a new tab rather than in the currently active tab?
Hi buckoa51!
Yes, there is.
Click on any link by the right mouse button and you may see Open in New tab option.
Momentarily, i don't know whether that is an built-in feature of Firefox ( i suppose you use Firefox because of the 'tab') or...
If you can't see this option you must download one or two or Firefox extension(s)
- tab_history-1.0.4-fx.xpi
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=tab+history&status=4
- tab_mix_plus-0.3.5.2-fx.xpi
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/search?q=tab+mix&status=4
and more on ...tabs

Hi buckoa51!
Could you find useful my tips for installing tab Add-ons for Firefox?
They are all installed under my Firefox and really improve its work.
The most recently downloaded one by me
Multiple Tab Handler which you can reach at my given 3. link.
It can arrange the tabs by mouse which feature not maintained in the Tab-Mix-plus although the latter knows very much!!!
They work generally for every task browsed with Firefox not only for Diigo!
I like them!

Right clicking a diigo bookmark does nothing... Even with those extensions installed
In firefox, to automatically open a link in a new tab, click it with the scroll button ("Middle Click")

That DOES work, thank you, though I wish this was the default behaviour!

Yes, you can do that. In my opinion, the easiest way to do this is to use the following mouse/keyboard shortcuts in Mozilla Firefox:
a) click the hyperlink, in this case the Diigo bookmark link, with the left mouse button while holding down the Ctrl key on the keyboard -> this opens the web page in a new tab in the foreground
b) click the hyperlink with the left mouse button while simultaneously holding down the Ctrl key and the Shift key on the keyboard -> this opens the web page in a new tab in the background
In Opera, the mouse/keyboard shortcuts are:
a) Shift key + clicking the left mouse button opens the hyperlink in a new tab in the foreground
b) Shift key + Ctrl key + clicking the left mouse button opens the hyperlink in a new tab in the background
Thanks all for sharing good tips here!
