You can look at this pref on the about:config page.

  • browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external

If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used. The meaning of the value of browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external is the same as of browser.link.open_newwindow

  • 1:current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;

You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
