I was hitting this as well, on all of my debian machines at several sites, most of them running etch.
Today I found a fix: in the preferences menu, selecting "new pages should be opened in a new window", then again "new pages should be opened in a new tab" fixes the issue. This worked on all of my debian machines. Yay :) After doing this workaround, in about:config I can see that browser.link.open_newwindow is user-set to integer 3. Before that, it was showing the default value, which IIRC was integer 2. Could it be that debian provides these defaults and that the initial values cause the inconsistency between what's displayed in the preferences menu and what actually happens when clicking on a link ???
