When I open a link in a new tab or window, there is no previous page available. When I click the (inactive) 'back' button; it is reasonable to assume that I want to go back to the opener tab/window and may want to close the current tab window. See also [[#Focus on opener when closing tab]]. | When I open a link in a new tab or window, there is no previous page available.

This results in many people (myself included) opening-up new tabs in assumption that these are normal links. | This results in many people (myself included) opening-up new tabs in assumption that these are normal links. | ||
But what if you (Mozilla) were to make it so that non-url-changing links were ''green'' instead of blue? Everyone would know that it wouldn't change the page they were on if they clicked-on them. They wouldn't have to worry about losing the data on that form they were filling-out. | But what if you (Mozilla) were to make it so that non-url-changing links were ''green'' instead of blue?
