foxfire 3.6 Windows7, Adobe up to date, Asus computer . I looked under tools>options>advanced and saw that open new tab in new window is NOT clicked, but the program continues to open a new window with every link. very irritating. AND, whenever you click on one of the links from the bottom tool bar, ALL the links pop up on the screen. ugh.

With most links you should be able to right click with your mouse and choose "Open Link in New Tab" (or in new window). If this is happening only on a particular page it may not be a "normal link" but something set up with javascript - does this happen always or only on certain pages?
