(Firefox) How do I change what happens if I click on a link on Lemmy's homepage? (lemmy.world)

My question is as follows: When I click a link on the main page, instead of opening a new tab in Firefox, it always takes me to the linked page in the same tab. I've tried changing settings in about:config, tried two different Firefox extensions to modify link behavior, but that resulted in a few unwanted events. I know I can override this by clicking the scroll wheel or using ctrl while clicking, but that gets annoying after a while. Is there a way to change this?

there's a userscript to force all links to open in a new tab - i'll see if i can find it

edit: here ye go. but i haven't used it, so caveat emptor

Thank you very much.
I also started using Alexandrite, thanks to that post!

oh by the way, your instance has alexandrite built in

i think it's at a.lemmy.world? but there are also other frontends at old.lemmy.world and new.lemmy.world and possibly phtn.lemmy.world or something?

there's a list somewhere on the meta lemmysphere (~~!meta@lemmy.world?~~ !lemmyworld@lemmy.world)
