(Firefox) How do I change what happens if I click on a link on Lemmy's homepage? (self.techsupport)

My question is as follows: When I click a link on the main page, instead of opening a new tab in Firefox, it always takes me to the linked page in the same tab. I've tried changing settings in about:config, tried two different Firefox extensions to modify link behavior, but that resulted in a few unwanted events. I know I can override this by clicking the scroll wheel or using ctrl while clicking, but that gets annoying after a while. Is there a way to change this?

If I wanted to do this, I would use grease monkey and write some JavaScript just listen to clicks on everything with an href, stop propagation, and then force it open in a new tab
