All URLs or just specific ones?

Appears to work on any link that opens in a new window:
Testcase:
http://2002register.com/viewImages/viewPictures.jsp?pageNum=1
- click on any pictures and watch them open in a new window rather than a tab.

Is this because that page uses target=_blank? In Deer Park they don't open in a
new window (but rather in a new tab), but that's probably because of it's more
advance single window mode prefs.

Yes, this is that. Bug 274143 probably covers this.

In addition, this is a hidden pref as noted on the support page of cb.o.

Duping...

The pref listed on that page hasn't worked since December.  Use 

user_pref("browser.link.open_newwindow", 1);

to disable target="_blank" in 0.9a1 and above.
