This might be open for discussion, but IMHO when browsing in tabbed mode and
clicking on a link that's specified as "target_blank" it should open in new tab
and not in a new window. 

Usually there's a reason to work tabbed (less taskbar clutter) but spawning new
windows sorta ruins that.
justa thought

Reproducible: Always

2.in specified URL click hardware 
3.

I think this is very important and should be implemented before 1.0.
It should not be standard, but it should be there as an option (open links with
target=_blank or target=_new in new tab)
