How do I open an outside link onto my current window? It keeps opening a new window so I end up with a lot of windows open. I just want the link to open in whatever window I'm working on. It used to do that and now it won't.

Hi   ! Would you give this a try please :

Type in the adress bar   about:config   (press Enter) (promise to be careful, if asked) Type and look for the preference : browser.link.open_newwindow and set its preference to   1   (one)

Does that do the trick  ?

If not, would you please take a look at these articles :
