Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 266277

Description

Browser Behavior

Open external links in new windows or tabs

    If another program wants to display a web page in the default browser,
Firefox will reuse an existing window by default, which means that it will
navigate from a page you might be reading. To stop this, add the following code
to your user.js file:

// Stop reusing active windows: 
user_pref("advanced.system.supportDDEExec", false);

    What about new tabs instead of windows then? If you prefer tabs instead of
windows, you must also install Tabbrowser Extensions, a very powerful extension
that enhances the functionality of the tabbed browsing. After installing the
extension, follow these instructions (make sure you didn't forget to add the
above code to your user.js file):

       1. Make sure you didn't forget to add the above code to your user.js file.
       2. Select Tools > Extensions, select Tabbrowser Extensions and click the
small Options icon.
       3. Expand the Category list and select the topmost sub-item (it's
supposed to read Advanced Tabbed Browsing but the Category list is too narrow).
       4. In the Window Mode drop-down listbox, select Use multiple browsers
only when I open them.

    Done! Now any link opened by an external program, such as your e-mail
client, will open in new tabs.
