Change in click behavior

Hi -

I recently installed windows 7 premium. Afterwards, the click behavior in
yahoo mail has changed. I used to be able to left-click on links in Yahoo
mail and get "open in another tab" results; now, after win7, it's "open
using the same tab". Is there something I can do to change this behavior,
short of going back to Windows XP?

Is your preferred option available when you right click?

Your question was, "Is there something I can do to change this
behavior, short of going back to Windows XP?" One possible answer
appears to be to right click and select your preferred option.

Isn't that a factor of your browser, rather than the OS? I would look for a
setting in your browser to open links in a new tab rather than the same
window. It's a Firefox option, at any rate, in the Tabs option.

Looks like you were using an earlier version of IE and now you're using
a newer version after changing to Win 7 (whose baseline version of IE is
8, not the 6 version baseline back in Win XP). Only you know, so far,
what version of IE you had in Win XP and what you have now in Win 7
(since you might've upgraded from IE8 to IE9). You didn't tell us.

Looks like it's time to start reviewing all the user configurable
options in your current version of IE so you know how to use it, like
look at the Tabs settings.
