Firefox should include a preference option to open all links to a new window in
a new tab instead. This would save space and time from having to switch between
windows, especialy for those with small monitors. If users wanted to change back
to opening links to other windows in a new window, they could do so in prefs..
To be more specific: it would be great if a feature was added that allowed links
pointing to new windows to be opened, would instead open the new page in a new
tab instead, thus saving space.
