ABP is preventing Open of New Tab/New Window

Post by mxc0bbn »

ABP is preventing opening a New Tab or New Window from an existing web page by right-clicking and selecting "Open Link in New Tab" or "Open Link in New Window". I have verified that ABP is the issue by disabling ABP and fixing the issue as well as whitelisting the site and then trying again (which also works); however, either one of these obviously then starts presenting ads on the page.

I came here for the same problem. Right click on anything to open in a new tab or window on MSN.com and it doesn't work. Disabling Easylist makes the problem go away, but the Youtube has ads which is no good. Not a problem on Chrome. Just started having the issue in the last week or two.

What filter lists are enabled in ABP ?

You also could open the dev tools (press F12), click ABP tab and see what popup requests are blocked there (And from what list)
