US copyright office requires setting "New pages should be opened in new window." You have no such selection under Tools-Tabs. Should I just dump Firefox?
The U.S.copyright Office requires - Firefox 2.0 users must adjust the Tabs setting to “New pages should be opened in: a new window.” The Tabs setting under Tools/Options has not such selection. Firefox Tools/Options/Tabs does have "Open new windows in a new tab instead." Is that the selection I should check in order to send my work to the U.S Copyright Office, or should I uninstall Firefox and go back to using Internet Explorer? I don't have time to waste on this.

The site you're trying to use is a little behind the times (Firefox 2.0 was desupported six years ago!). You can safely ignore the advise given - any links which are set to open in a new "window" will, by default, open in a new tab in Firefox.
If you uncheck the option you've already found in Firefox options, then the same link will instead open in a new window. The result is the same - it's a matter of how you prefer to organise tabs/windows. There should be no effect on the operation of the site.

This setting is meant (you need to remove the tick):
- Tools > Options > Tabs: [ ] "Open new windows in a new tab instead"
Note that the about:preferences page that Firefox 36 will use by default shows the Tabs settings on the General tab in the Options/Preferences window.
Note that you may only have to change the setting for windows opened via JavaScript, see the browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction pref further down.

For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:

It can cause problems if the two windows try to communicate via JavaScript and need to be able to be visiblwe at the same time. Usually the default settings that Firefox use for windows opened via JavaScript should be sufficient as Firefox opens a window in case the window dimensions are specified (browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 2).
I have a very large monitor. It's one of the largest that Dell makes. I've had Firefox with Bing and Internet Explorer with Bing for some time. But since the start drive was replaced on my computer the window are huge and so is the text. Before, I could make the window smaller by moving the sides in and the whole page would appear in the smaller window. Then I could open my research window beside it, also with the entire page in the smaller space. I can't find any way to do that now. And I must do that now. I am not an IT professional. I need a real solution, with instructions on how to do it.
You should be able to resize this window.
If not then check this dom.disable_window pref on the about:config page.
- dom.disable_window_open_feature.resizable
- dom.disable_window_move_resize
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.
