Are you running Firefox in Private Browsing mode?
You may be seeing this bug:

Currently, there are two possible workarounds for the problem cor-el mentioned with private browsing windows:
(1) Turn tabbed browsing back on (Preferences > General/Tabs > "Open new windows in a new tab instead"), or
(2) Shift-click links that you want to open in a new window
Many thanks jscher2000, workaround (1) did the trick.
