why won't firefox open new tabs for hotmail?
Firefox always opened hotmail in a new tab, but now it only opens in a new window. What happened?

I wish it would open or have the choice to have it open in the same window and every time the darn page refreshes to stop bring us back. Horrible when you are reading a page and it does that . Works like that in SeaMonkey. I don't mind if both options are there. Thats what middle click can be set up for if you want it to open in another tab, but it also has the open to have it auto change to the tab or not. I have it set and it does it with the left when it shouldn't
