Under options/tabs: open new windows in a new tab instead does not work. many sites open their popups or new windows NOT in a tab as it should. How to solve this, has been a problem in the last versions incl. the latest.
i would like the option ´open new window in new tab instead´ working properly so no new windows will be opened except when I command them to..
as said, many websites have popups (most are blocked, still some come through) who open in a new window.

This explains the bug existing since the start of Firefox, and never been solved..
How come IExplorer does work properly on this function (compared to many functions not working properly)
Anyone has a solution?
Type about:config in the Location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key. When you see a warning, click I'll be careful, I promise! button.
- Preferences that have been modified are shown as bold (user set).
- Preferences can be Reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
-> In the Filter bar type browser.link.open_newwindow
- Right click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow and click Modify
- change the value to 3
- click OK
-> In the Filter bar type browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
- Right click the preference browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction and click Modify
- change the value to 0 (zero)
- click OK
-> Close the about:config tab and then Restart Firefox.
Check and tell if its working.
IT WORKS! thanks a million!
The first reply was a bit too technical I think, great explanation..
