As of yesterday - with NO downloads or updates to anything having been made - MSN.com opens Hotmail (when I click the link from that page) in a new window, not a tab. Any link in any email, however, opens in a new tab in the original window. When I og out of Hotmail, it returns me to MSN so the process gets repeated every time I start Firefox & it loads my normal set of tabs. Why has this suddenly started? How do I fix it (return to opening Hotmail in a tab)?

Same problem, but if you DO open it with the middle mouse button it DOES open in a new tab, not window. Generally when I use firefox it just opens the page, no new tab/window.

Thanks for the 'scroll wheel' suggestion - that does work. However it does not answer what bugs the hell out of me as a four-decades' experienced software designer/coder who's overly cautious about downloading, installing, upgrading, etc et al - having done none of those things, WHY has this suddenly (and thus inexplicably) begun happening? I'd love to blame it on MS since they so often 'tweak' their stuff (he said overly politely), but...
