how can I force a popup to open in a new tab instead of opening a new window?
I want to keep any links that I click from opening a new window, ie. if I click on a link in an open tab that opens a new window, I want it to open in a new tab instead. I am on Firefox 5.0.

You can look at the browser.link.open_newwindow prefs on the about:config page.
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction (0)

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Can you give me the value to enter once I enter about:config?
Options window - Tabs panel
You can also middle-click or CTRL + left-click a link to open it in a New Tab
Check and tell if its working.
