Firefox 3.5 tip

Finding that Firefox is opening links in the current tab in Firefox instead of in a new tab as you'd prefer? Me too! =)

ff-icon.pngThis seemed to fix it:
  1. Type "about:config" in your browser location bar, then accept the warning
  2. Right click in the window and select "New" -> "Integer"
  3. Paste in "browser.link.open_external" as the name, and "3" as the value (no quotes)
If that doesn't work, type in "browser.link.open" in the filter bar, then right click on each of the preferences that match and select "reset".

That seemed to work for me.

Good luck!
