Under Mozilla there is absolutely a preference for this. (Tabbed Browsing - 'Open tabs instead of windows for 'CTRL-Enter', 'Middle-click'...) But its also the opposite of how you want ie to work, where about half the time I'm doing right-click|open in new window. So, I think they made the decision that the default behaviour is the best option. To Jeremy North : Plugins are very good, there are thousands of them, but there are probably only one or two that both suit you and work how you want them to, so it isn't leaving out *useful* functionality (do you really want an 'amazon browser' ? Probably not, but if you did it would be fantastic. I love the web-developer plugin with the 'outline images with no alt-text' option, but ain't really interested in much non-default tab behaviour). Download manager ups its usefulness after about a month, when you come back and go "Where did I download foo.exe to?", you can just hit 'Show File Location'. Also, did anyone else see : http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3592035&thesection=te chnology&thesubsection=general&thesecondsubsection= "preparing for the release of Firefox version 1.0 and the Kiwi input is hard to miss.
