the other way

Actual Results:  Opens a new window

Expected Results:  Open a new tab

Also, if you click on a link that is set to open a new window like:
<a href="http://www.bjtrading.dk" target="_blank">www.bjtrading.dk</a>

It opens a new Windows.

I want an option that make these kind of links open in a new tab.
