Yeah, I guess that's because opening links in tabs (not in windows) is default in BonEcho so there won't be written a pref to prefs.js.

Yeah, there isn't really anything we can do about this, given the way the pref system works. If a pref is equal to the default, it's entry in user.js is removed, so when you start a build with a new default, it's used instead.

I'm'a recommend closing this bug, maybe as WORKSFORME or INVALID or OBSOLETE ;)
