Hi,
it would be fine i mozilla could be configured to show new windows in a seperate
tab. At the moment, when clicking on a link that opens a link in a new window an
additional session of mozilla stats. For example opera redirects this call and
opens a new tab instead.
I know there is an option to prevent this by pressing additional keys, but you
cannot know from every link wether it shows the content in a new window or in
the actual frame.
Hope you unterstand what I mean....

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click ob a link that opens a new window

Actual Results:  
Mozilla starts a new window

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should open the new window in a new tab instead.
