Why were the new tab and new window right click menu items reversed from FF3.6 on FF4?

I've been using Firefox since before version 1. when you right click on a hyperlink the first menu item had always been "open in new tab" and the second item was "open in new window" Now in Firefox 4, they have been reversed and it is a major pain in the rear. I even went and checked Firefox 3.6 on other PCs to make sure I wasn't wrong, and sure enough, they are reversed. I have verified this on both Windows XP and 7. I find my self constantly opening new windows instead of tabs. Is there a way to change this besides going back to ver. 3.6? Dumbest idea anyone at Mozilla ever had. Please change it back to the old way in 4.1

You can change that back to what is was with the Menu Editor extension:

Thanks edmeister with that add on I was able to change it. I still feel it was a bad idea to change it in the first place. I don't like the tabs up on top by default versus being in the old location either, but I did find how to fix that. I want Firefox to look and function like Firefox not chrome or opera. If I wanted chrome or opera I'd install it. I tried both and didn't like the interface of either one of those. You listening Mozilla?
