Opening a link: the dropdown menu has changed! Why?
In previous versions of Firefox, the first selection in the dropdown menu was "open link in new window" when selecting a link with right click.
In Firefox 4, the first selection is now "open link in new tab".
For those of us used to the previous versions, this is frustrating!
Why the change?

You can change it back using the Menu Editor extension.

Thanks! But....why was it changed in the first place? That's what I'd like to know.
You can search Bugzilla for the bug that brought about that change, if you really have to know "why".

This code in userChrome.css will move "Open Link in New Window" to the top of the context menu.

the user jay_ff shows how to do it using the Menu Editor Add-on
1. Install the Menu Editor add-on from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/menu-editor/ .
2. After the installation, go to Firefox> add-ons (or simply use Ctrl+Shift+A)
3. Go to the Menu Editor "Options"
4. In the "Main context menu," simply grab the "Open link in New Tab" and place it below the "Open Link in New Window"
5. and Voila! You may also change other menu options if you want to!
I tried jay_ff method first and found that indeed changing the Main Context Menu did cause the hotlink context menu to change as well.
