Howdy! :cowboy:

In Firefox - is there a way to make all links that would normally open in new windows, open in tabs instead?

I looked through the options, but I must’ve missed it if it is there.

That patent’s to do with the tab key, not tabbed browsing 😉

Although it’s total BS anyway, because browsers had the feature long before IE3, and it would never stand up in court…
