Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

Links can be forced to be opened in new tab/window by holding down CTRL/SHIFT
while clicking them, or with the "Open Link in new tab" / "Open Link in new
window" items of the context menu of links.

I think it would be consequent to introduce
also a special key and a menu item "Open Link in current tab" to force links to
open in the current tab.

(Maybe the same bug also should be submitted for "normal" Mozilla (not Firefox).)

[Asaf Romano (gone)]

Although here is additional ideas here, this is just a duplicate of bug 227241, I suggest you comment 
there.

Reopening the bug because the opposite of bug 227241 is demanded.
