"open new windows in a new tab instead" does not seem to work properly. Why?
Just installed FF4. Expected differences, worked around them. BUT. I started using the web as I normally do, and sites are popping up new windows - FF4 should be converting those to new tabs; the option is checked in preferences. However, FF4 is NOT doing that.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
I had the same problem, but was able to fix it somewhat.
- Open the about:config page.
- Set the browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction setting to 0 (= zero).
On my machine this will open new windows in a new tab. However, it switches to the new tab regardless of the setting "When I open a link in new tab, switch to it immediatly".
Thanks for the responses and sorry for taking a while to get back. I have been looking around but not sure where is the "about: config page." When I click on Firefox "about" there is nothing to configure. What do I click on? TIA
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
