Firefox opens a new window instead of tab (as chosen in options)
How do I force Firefox to open a new tab, instead of opening a new window?
I have the option to open new tab ticked in options, yet Firefox still opens a new window?
Cheers

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
See:

- 1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
I assume this doesn't happen with every link, but only particular ones/kinds/sites. If you notice a pattern to the problem, could you describe the problem in more detail?
I cannot believe that anyone would prefer a new tab over opening a new window.
All too often I am destroying work and recordings when I accidentally click to close a window and shut down several operations. Personally, I would prefer either a double click to close a window or a two step operation to do so.
Now that I see some instruction on how to put this back to what it used to be (win XP?) I will probably not frighten my cat so much when I break out using my Microsoft Vocabulary.
