I know there is a way to change the settings to force all pop-up windows to open as tabs, but is there a way to change this setting for a particular link that opens as a pop-up? Basically, does Firefox have an option similar to the "show as tab" right-click option in Chrome for pop-up windows?

Hello simpleetrill, If you want to force popups opening in a new tab instead type about:config into the Firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) and search for the preference named browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction. double-click it and change its value to 0. Done! Tell me how it goes and, Stay Safe!
