But you can't open bookmarks in a new tab without faffing about. I'd switch to chrome, but it's worse than useless without being able to do this. Honestly, I don't know how you chrome users put up with this crap from google.

I use firefox. I tried chrome but my computer doesn't seem to like it, and I didn't see anything special about it for my needs, so decided to stick with firefox.

I don't find that too bad, you can set it to open multiple pages in separate tabs when you run the first instance of it (I think we already talked about this but there was some issue about it not working, or something). With new tabs, I just click the tab and have a list of "most visited sites" - big icons on the screen to select from or I just use the bookmars bar.

So two clicks is all it takes; one click on the tab, next click on the bookmark link. It's so easy even my left hand can do it.

Another great feature is the "search google for..." function: just select some interesting text in a webpage then right click and there's an option to search google for hits on that selected text string. The google search results page opens up in a new tab

I don't use that many bookmarks. My 8 most used are on the home page so i just right click and open in a new tab. Doesn't take more than a few seconds to get them up and running. The other 8 are stored in the bookmark bar at the top which offers the same separate tab opening.

Would definitely be nice to open a new tab with just one click but it's not enough to turn me off.

As a web developer I counted the days ( many many of them! ) until I no longer had to ensure that every site worked perfectly in IE6! Thankfully that day came and I've never looked back. Even Microsoft pegs IE6 market share at < 10% worldwide and only 2.2% in Canada. Still have to test sites in IE7, IE8 and IE9 (and soon IE10) though

Apparently IE users are not more stupiderer after all. Story was a hoax.

I use both IE and Firefox. IE on work laptop, Firefox at home.

Google Chrome - I have a tab at the top named Bookmarks that I just click on and see all my favourites. It opens up another window if I open up any of my favourites.

To find it, click on the spanner on the RH side of any page and select Bookmark Manager - it leaves a Bookmarks tab up for you and you can slide it to any position at the top.

am i the only one that ever uses safari?

Bugger, not as smart as I thought I was.

I used it once on my mac. I installed firefox 5s later.

No, I use it, but then again, who cares ?

I'm so great I actually use all 3.

We use Gmail at work so I have chrome open for email and work applications.

However our CRM system does not work well in Chrome so I run it off Firefox.

And then I use explorer to browse facebook, surf the news and post on here.

By understanding the rules of all 3 systems I am more adaptable to change. Strongest survive and all that............

i just right click on the bookmark and open in new tab?

I know I make a big deal of this but right clicking, opening bookmark managers, and such like count as faffing about. I need it to be one single left click and will accept nothing else. Until such time as chrome has this piece of basic functionality I will consider it to be unusable.

CTRL- left click or wheel button opens a bookmark (from the on-screen bookmark bar) in a new tab; focus is left on the current tab though.

SHIFT+left click opens a bookmark in a new window.

So there you have it, one click of the mouse wheel gets your link in a new tab.

The bookmarks bar isn't visible by default, simply switch it on in Options->Toolbars.

I know you're going to reply <something like> "I don't have a wheel button." or "I want the new tab to automatically go into focus"
