Forcing links to open in tab instead of new window?

In firefox 1.0.1 in Options/Advanced/Tabbed Browsing I believe there
used to be a "force links opening in new window to open in tab instead"
but it seems to be missing? I may be off a bit on what it was actually
labeled but anyways was it moved to another location, renamed to
something else, or removed all together?

 

I am still running Ver1 and the option you mention is there at the top
of the page the option was open link in new page, new tab, existing tab.

 

if it isnt there, try typing about:config in address bar and hitting
enter then using the filter tool to search for "single" and you should
end up with this entry: browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs set it to
true... then it will in advanced options

 

Thank you that worked.

 

yvw i dont understand why its not enabled to begin with lol

 

There is a new version of Tabbed Browsing out and one of the changes is
that left clicking on a link automatically opens it in a new link. I
think it is Ver2.2.2

 

that would be a seperate addon then, not an intergrated thing for
mozilla/firefox

 

yes of course
