Until recently, external links have always opened in a new tab. The last few days thaey've started opening in a new window. I can't find anything I have changed.

I am running IE Tab 2 (FF 3.6+) 2.12.21.1 by ietab.net and was experiencing this problem... I just disabled it and the problem went away.
