IE8 won't switch to new tab
IE 8 seems to have gone wacky with me. Now, aside from a number of issues for which I found other browsers have helped resolve and I don't need to use IE8 all the time, it stopped switching to new tab when I click on a link, whether ctrl-click or middle mouse button.
I checked with the settings and Switch to new tab... is on.
I'm on the verge of giving up on IE8. My most pressing issue is the auto-complete, in the address bar which was taken away. Safari is the only one of the three browsers I use (the other being Firefox) that still gives the full url when you start writing: for example: www.nyt and it gives you the complete NY Times url.
I have several issues with Firefox but, hey, I can switch to any of the three, depending on where I'm treading on. The latest with Firefox is when I click on a link in a certain website and it opens a new tab but immediately it switches to a search mode. To hell with it! I use IE or Safari when I'm reading items on that website.
Sorry to vent off this way.
Thanks
