Everytime I click on a link it opens up a new tab, is there a way to stop this?

I do not want a tab to open everytime i click on something on a page. I end up having 20 tabs open at once. Is there a way I can turn this off so that my page will just switch to the new page.

You can override how links are opened via the browser.link.open_newwindow pref

This pref is for the behavior of links opened via JavaScript
