User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

It would be nice, if Mozilla will have an setting for opening links with
target=<name> attribute in a new tab, instead of new window. This option can be
similar to browser.tabs.opentabfor.windowopen
For example, target=_blank is most commonly used to open link in a new window.
New tab for such link would be great.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
click a link, which has 'target' attribute.
Actual Results:  
new window will be opened, or window with name of 'target' will be affected.

Expected Results:  
new tab should be opened, or tab with that name should be affected. if option is
turned to 'true'.
