I recently switched from IE to Firefox and noticed a little difference when clicking on the "web sites"-button in the projects tab. With IE, I could hold down shift and get a new browser window to open but with Firefox I can't. Is it possible to fix? It's no big thing but still...

Oh, and if you can get ctrl + click open a new tab it'd be even better. I'm running BM 4.44 atm.

Consider yourself lucky. When I hit one of the website buttons, I get IE popping up instead of the preferred Firefox I have installed.

Just saying that Firefox is your prefered browser inside the browser is ignored half the time by Windows. What you may check for is in Add/Remove Programs, the button on the left side called Set Program Access and Defaults.

Set your default web browser (and any other program) there. For instance, most of the buttons I hit will open up a new Mozilla windows for me.

Nevermind, I found a setting in Mozilla that did it for me :)
