How do I get all hyperlinks to open in a new tab instead of redirecting the open page?

Simply put, when I hit a hyperlink I do NOT want the page I'm on to go to the linked URL -- I want the new URL to appear in a new and separate tab. FF used to do this just fine -- until I "upgraded" to 5.0.1 yesterday.

Between this and the smaller screen size for the FF browser I'm thinking of jumping ship back to Chrome...

HELP!

Thanks in advance...
