Preferences are set to open new sites in a new TAB, but it keeps opening them in a whole new window. I want TABs like my old Firefox. How do I teach stupid software to be smarter in this??

Are you clicking links in ordinary web pages, or do you mean from external applications?

Do you have any tab-related add-ons, such as Tab Mix Plus? If so, please check their settings in case they are overriding the built-in settings.
