I am on a page and I need to open a link. Right now, I have to press ctrl and then click the link then it opens in a new tab. I don't want to do this.
What I want is that whenever I click any link it should always open in a new tab. Is this possible with Firefox or Chrome or any other browser?

There is no setting in Chrome for this that I know of, however...
You could use a chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/open-new-blank-in-new-bac/bblhflcbilbefagmeoanbdiofmmnehda
Or just middle click links (by clicking with your scrollwheel) instead of ctrl+click (works in Firefox too).
This answer might be helpful for Firefox.

Oh do you mean pressing the scroll key? – IcyFlame – 2013-03-15T07:15:08.817
@IcyFlame Some mice have a middle mouse button / scroll-wheel. – Web_Designer – 2013-03-15T07:15:21.690

You can add that functionality to Firefox with this add on: Open Link In New Tab.
Personally I have got into the habit of right-clicking on links and choosing "Open Link in New Tab" from there.
Right click!

This question may be of particular benefit for users of the Vimium browser extension (or equivalent).
