recently I've noticed that the 'open new windows in a new tab instead' function which I already have set, is no longer working, I keep getting sites that open a new window instead - and I'd like it to stop please. I'd like FF to revert to the behaviour I have set up. How do I do that? I have win 7 and I'm running FF 32.0.3
