Is there a shortcut key that forces links to open in the current tab that would otherwise open in a new window or tab?

I don't think there is. One thing you could do, is drag the link to the current tab.

You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

Maybe it's not your matter, but after install some Add-ons, they modify the behavior to always open links in new tabs.

A example of that is when you install Tab Utilities, you need to go to its configuration, and in Links field, deselect "Force all links to open in New Tab".
