Links in Firefox

The latest nightly build of Firefox adds a cool new feature. I’ve become somewhat addicted to tabbed browsing, despite my earlier comments, and I hate it when I click a link in an email or something and a whole new window opens up. For starters, it’s slower. Beyond that, it’s an extra window and a pain.

With the latest release, the default behavior is to open in the currently selected tab in the most recent window, which I don’t particularly like because I may have been on a page I wanted to keep. Luckily, you can also make it open a completely new tab in the most recent window (my favorite) or even open an entirely new window like it did previously. I know it’s small. But it’s sweet.
