I want to be able to open links from other apps, such as my email client or desktop Word, Excel, etc., in a NEW TAB in FF v11,,,, AND AT THE SAME TIME, and by default, be able to open links clicked from within FF (any webpage or tab) in the SAME TAB AS THE LINK unless I right click and choose "Open Link In New Tab" or "Window". Is this possible? This action/behavior should be a choice in "options" or settings. If it already is, then it is poorly defined or labeled as to what the action is that the setting does.

You can set the Integer pref browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external to "1" on the about:config page.

The browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external pref uses the same values as this pref for JavaScript window.open() calls.

Sorry Cor-el, but that did not change either of the behaviors I was looking for.

What are the current settings of all three related prefs?

Are those links normal links or onclick JavaScript type links?
