It worked some moments ago, and suddenly when I click a link a new WINDOW open instead of a new tab. It is very annoying and I want to be able to only have tabs instead of a new window open. Sure you all might say "there is a tool where it says open tabs instead of new windows" well that doesn't work! I really like the new design, it's very flashy and such.. just, I don't like not being able to jump back several pages and of course the tab thingy.
