Previously, you had to: gconf-editor=>apps=>nautilus=>preferences=>check 'Always use browser' .. and you can still do that. But now, you can also just use the Preferences in Nautilus itself: > BehaviorTab > > The Behavior tab allows you to specify that Nautilus should Always > open in browser windows.

Essentially, you want to turn off the "Spatial Nautilus" function (which opens every folder in a new window, because somehow that's supposed to make more sense to people), and return to the 'old' behaviour (browser), which is what this does (because so many people did not like the new behaviour, and objected to it only being changeable in gconf-editor, which is not the most intuitive of tools).
