Download the Tabbrowser Preference extension. Makes it a lot easier to customize tab behavior.

I KNOW you can customize that without downloading any kind of plugin (my default behavior is to open an external link in a new tab in the most recently focused window; there are some issues, like if one of those no-menubar windows is open the tab will appear there but that's a fairly minor corner case) and it's almost as responsive as Windows-I mean Internet-Explorer.  I forget how much I mucked about to change that, but I sincerely doubt it was much.

Yeah, there's some option somewhere to force all new window links to open into a new tab... I think you have to go to about:config and find it though. =/ Or just get Tabbrowser Preferences which'll do the same thing for you.

And what sites that use flash for embedded form data and ActiveX are actually worth going to, Windows Update aside?

[Grey Wolf]

The extension gives you more options. When I used Firefox, I always made sure I had it installed, as it was a lot better setup than the default.

Embedded form data.

Any site that uses Flash for forms is a crime against intelligence. Such sites should be boycotted on principle.

Anyone who insists that lack of ActiveX support is a bad thing is an idiot. And Billy Gates' wet dream seven years ago.
