When I click on a link in email, Firefox opens the link in the current tab. My previous version of Firefox opened links in a new tab. Is there a setting to get the previous behaviour?

Is that when you click a link on a browser page (web based mail client) or are you clicking a link in an external program to launch the default browser?

An external program to launch the default browser.

Maybe Tab Mix Plus has a setting to open external links in a new tab.

Something like this shouldn't require an addon. This should not have been removed from Firefox's feature list. Firefox is losing the war against Chrome, Safari, Opera, and even Internet Explorer.
