target="_blank" should be ignored, the user herself should decide if he/she wants to open the page within a new tab/window
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
click on a <a href="http://www.mozilla-europe.org/de/firefox/" target="_blank">link</a> object
Actual Results:
http://www.mozilla-europe.org/de/firefox/ opens in a new tab
Expected Results:
http://www.mozilla-europe.org/de/firefox/ should be opened in the same tab
or maybe sign target="_blank"-links with an special icon (maybe on roll over) an add a point, "open in this tab" into to context menu

Not supporting target="_blank" would break all kinds of things. Indicating when a link has it, and allowing override through the context menu, sounds like a dup of bug 268984.

Agree. "_blank" is valid, and should stay that way.
