Possible to move "open in New Tab" when right clicking?

In older versions of FF when you right click on a link the first choice is to open in new window and the 2nd is to open in a new tab.

In FF4 that has been reversed. Out of habit I quickly move down to the 2nd choice and keep opening things in new windows instead of tabs.

It's a small thing I know but it there a way for a user to change how that box looks so we can move open in a new tab back to the 2nd choice so we can keep using FF in the way/manner we've grown accustomed?

Thanks. Have used it to move some things around in the menu items. However, it does not let me make the changes on a right-click dialogue box.
