How do I change it so that links open in new tabs as opposed to new windows?

Firefox Grundlagen über Tabs

Ever since I updated to Firefox 27, external links only open new windows instead of new tabs. I tried to change the values of open_newwindow, open_newwindow.restriction, and open_newwindow.override.external on about:config, but it's not affecting how external links are opening at all. No matter what integer I set them too, links always open in new windows.

I already ticked to open new windows in new tabs on Options.

You can override how external links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external pref.

The meaning of the values of browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external are the same as for browser.link.open_newwindow
