If you want to make full use of tabbed browsing then you know how annoying it is when a new window opens after clicking on a target="_blank" link. Do not fear! Firefox and Mozilla Suite have everything you ever wanted built in!
Mozilla Suite
- Go to about:config (through your Location Bar)
- Put browser.block into the filter bar
- Now right-click on browser.block.target_new_window's value and choose modify
- Change the value to true, restart Mozilla Suite and you are done
Mozilla Firefox 1.0.x
- Go to about:config (through your Location Bar)
- Right-click anywhere in the browser and select "New → Boolean"
- Paste in browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs for the preference and choose True for the value
- Use the now-visible settings under “Tools → Options → Advanced → Tabbed Browsing → Force links that open in new windows to open in...” to control how new windows are treated.
Mozilla Firefox 1.5
Use the settings under “Tools → Options → Tabs → Force links that open new windows to open in”.
