Recently, for some reason my firefox started doing this. I do programing as a hobby and I saw that firefox was opening all links with target="_blank" in a new window instead of a new tab. This started happening about the time I cleared a virus from my computer and also I reinstalled firefox because of problems with java.

Nevermind, I just fixed this by going to options and under general you have tabs, I didn't see the "Open new windows in a new tab instead" option...
