I used to click on a bookmark to open a new window and load the link, but now it's loaded directly into the original window, how do I revert back to the previous state?

See:

Type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key to open about:config like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.

  • if you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access about:config.
  • use the Search bar at the top of about:config to locate preferences more easily
  • preferences that have been modified and do not have the default value show as bold (user set)
  • preferences that are user set (bold) can be reset to the default value by clicking the reset button at the far right on its line
  • preferences can be modified via the Edit button and by double-clicking the line with the pref

You can create a new preference by typing/pasting the name in the search bar, select the type: String, Number, Boolean, and click the '+' button to create the pref and type the value and confirm by clicking the OK button.
