I like tabbed browsing very much but when pages open their links in new firefox
windows it´s very hard to rely on tabbed browsing.
So I suggest adding a new option "open links in new tabs instead of new
windows", and when this is enabled any link which should open it´s destination
in a new browser window will open this link in a new tab.
