    Now when I hit a link from a site, it always opens up in a new window. I didn't change any settings, so I'm curious as to why this happened?

    any firefox pros have and idea?

    I do have the latest version, even re-downloaded it tonight and for whatever reason, the tabbing function is non-existent on my pc.

    Have you tried right-clicking the link and selecting "Open in New Tab..."?
     
  5. did you pick up a new plugin?

    Thanks for the tip on the righ clicking, that works. I didn't know about that. It used to be automatic with every link I hit and then just stopped doing that and I hadn't added any plugins, extensions etc
     
  7. there is an extension that'll bring that functionality back for you, can't remember what it's called though....
