Closing tab from home page link
I changed a setting in FF that I can no longer find. Previous to the change, I was able to do a 'page back' to return to my homepage (iGoogle) after opening a link from the homepage. Now, all links from my homepage open in a new tab rather than allowing the 'page back.' I've scoured every option in the help>options menu but can't find the setting. As I recall, it was on a page in which the option I changed was at the bottom separated from the other options. Would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

Hello Bob.
You probably went into Tools > Options > Tabs and changed the "open links that open in a new window" option. Try that one.
Also, I will remind you that you can simply middle-click any link for it to open on a new tab.
Also, you can use a very handy extension called Tab History that will keep the history of your tab (back button) when you open links on a new tab. It's very cool and very helpful.
Hope this helps.
Hi Morbus: Thanks for the reply. In tools>options>tabs I don't seem to have "open links that open in a new window." I do have "open new windows in a new tab instead" and I've tried it both checked and unchecked but it doesn't solve the problem. Any other ideas? Will try the add-on you suggest. Thanks again.
Hi again Morbus: Unfortunately, the add-on won't work with FF 3.6.3.
You can always force compatibility by adding a boolean string called "extensions.checkCompatibility.3.5*" (without the commas) in your about:config. Set it to true.
