Has anyone found where you can re-enable the ability to open links in new tab's instead of the current tab your in. We had the option previously so that if you say were on a web page and you went into favorites and tapped one you would be taken to a "new" tab and not have it load in the current tab.

It used to be in the Settings page or Advanced Settings in IE previously but I don't see it anymore.

Just curious possibly its not completed yet. :smile:

Simply touch and hold the link and a window pops up with a choice to open in a new tab....Or if you are looking for a new tab first simply open it first and then direct it to whatever favorite you want.

So if you go to favorites you cannot hold down on that item to get it to open in a new tab as well have to open a new tab previously. Not a big deal just was wondering .. Thanks for the heads up.

On IE 10 this "open in new tab"-option was quite handy when using the FB App to open several tabs to read them later (and directly after opening then going back to FB).
Now you can just one Link. I think that is quite annoying... :/
