I want to open a link in a new tab - I DON'T want a new window, even if the page specifies a width or height. I can't believe that FF would try to think for me and override MY prefs - I though that stupidity was left to MS! Even Safari 4 (4.1.2) gives me the option to always open in a new tab no matter what. A web site doesn't deserve to take over my browser, and any good site will be designed or programmed to handle any width/height. Any way to hack this setting? Or do we wait and hope that FF returns control to the user?

You can check these prefs on the about:config page.
