In FF 77.0.1 links in emails and not only, open in new window instead of new tab.
In FF 77.0.1 links in emails and not only, open in new window instead of new tab although in settings I have checked the TAB priority.
Herewith I attach the profile table.
Thank's in advance...

Hi rogergr311049, do you mean links in your email in Firefox, or links in a separate email program on your system?
Firefox has three different preferences for whether to divert tabs destined for a new window to a new tab instead. Only one of these has a checkbox. I'm going to list all of their details and insert a bold note for the change I suggest trying under (B):
(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.
(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste neww and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Review/Adjust the preferences as follows:
(A) browser.link.open_newwindow - for links in Firefox tabs
This is the one that has a checkbox on the Preferences page:
- 3 = divert new window to a new tab (default) <== keep this
- 2 = allow link to open a new window
- 1 = force new window into same tab
(B) browse.link.open_newwindow.restriction - for links in Firefox tabs
By default, if a page sets width, height, or toolbars for a popup, Firefox will let it be a separate window. To force those into a tab as well, you can change this preference to 0:
- 0 = apply the setting under (A) to ALL new windows (even script windows with features) <== try this
- 2 = apply the setting under (A) to normal windows, but NOT to script windows with features (default)
- 1 = override the setting under (A) and always use new windows
(C) browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external - for links in other programs
- -1 = apply the setting under (A) to external links (default) <== keep this or try (3)
- 3 = open external links in a new tab in the last active window
- 2 = open external links in a new window
- 1 = open external links in the last active tab replacing the current page
To return to normal if things go haywire, there's an arrow-like reset button at the right end of each of those rows if it has a non-default value.
Success?

Absolute success !!!!!
That's it, although it's a little complicate to find out by yourself all this process !!!
