[Sussex] Firefox Query

[Rupert Swarbrick]

Oops. Thanks! Is there a way of stopping popup windows from opening in 
their own windows and forcing them to open in tabs, though? Stopping 
popup windows altogether is irritating, but having them appearing is 
equally bad...
And how about when I click on a link that's set up to open in a new 
window, it'll give me a new tab instead? It would be nice, but I don't 
know if it's possible
Any ideas?
