[Firefox] Use New Tab instead of New Window?

Is there anyway to override a webpage's use of "target" when clicking on
its links?

I would like links that are set to open a new window to open in a tab
instead.

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Tabbed Browsing -> Force links ...
-> a new tab

Odd, I don't have that option in 1.0.2.

It's not available by default (I've no idea why the FF developers have
chosen to hide it).
But you can enable it by setting the preference
browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs
to
true
For this, type
about:config
in the addressbar, locate the pref and double click it value to toggle
its value between false and true.

Maybe you have to restart FF before "Force links ..." is visible in the
Options dialog.
