Choose window to open Link (not new window)

manikantannaren — Mon, 31 Oct 2022 03:37:48 GMT

I have 4 FF windows each with multiple tabs.
I keep my primary window on my primary monitor. When clicking links in the other window
RMB On link -> Available options to open link are

OPen in new tab
OPen in new container tab
Open in New Window
open in New private window

Is there a way to choose the window in which I want to open the link
Like Open in | Window1 or window 2 etc.

Yes, currently, you would need to use an add-on to have that feature. I can't remember the relevant ones off the top of my head, but hopefully they will turn up in a search: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

If you want to propose that be added to Firefox as a native feature, you can create a new post under the "Ideas" section, or if there is a similar idea already, give it Kudos.

Yes, that's a good idea, and I think it's very consistent with my suggestion of giving open windows a name!

Open in 'Interesting links'
Open in 'Todo'
