I think this still works with the most recent versions of Firefox: http://www.robertstech.com/blog/?p=57 Step 1: In the Address Bar of Firefox, type the words about:config and then press the Enter key. This brings up the built-in customization page where you can configure myriad options in Firefox. To reach any one of them you can either scroll through the entire list or, if you know what youre looking for, start typing it into the Filter box above the list. Type 'browser.link' in the filter barStep 2: Type browser.link into the Filter box. This will bring up three results. The one we want is the middle one shown in the image at right: browser.link.open_newwindow. Double-click on browser.link.open_newwindow and youll get the dialog box shown below, with the default value of 3? showing. Type '1' in the dialog boxStep 3: In the dialog box, replace the default value of 3? with 1? and click OK. Youre done! Now every link will open in the same tab unless you decide otherwise! (Just in case youre curious, setting the value to 2? would make every link open in a new tab.)
