"Open link in new tab" not working with Safari and new Yahoo Mail won't open in new tabs. Yahoo says it is a Safari issue. I don't think so.

Any ideas?

Works fine in classic Yahoo mail. But in the "new" Yahoo mail, there is not even an option to open in new tab when I right click the message to be opened. Interestingly enough, I can right click open to new tab on any other link on the same page that the emails are listed in.

Anyone encounter this? Have a solution?

Thanks.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.

If that didn't help, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.

Quit Safari.

Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.

Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try Yahoo / tabs. If it functions as it should, move the .plist file to the Trash. Otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.

And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari. Try again.
