What I assume is meant is that links with target="_blank" should be
able to be loaded into a new tab instead of new window. This is a
possible setting in Firefox, and very useful. Of course, one *could*
learn to use middle click instead (if you have a middle button) or
whatever modifier it is on the keyboard. But, if you like me *never
ever* want to open in new window, then a simple setting is much
better.

Actually, I use it in a sort of combination now in Fx: when I left
click, it opens a new tab (if target blank) and gives that tab focus,
when I middle click focus is kept wit hthe old page. So I can easily
open links either to follow directly or to check out later, extremely
handy, although a bit specialized.

The important thing is that I treat tabs as once was the meaning of
windows (and still is in IE), and so, it is just annoying that
target="_blank" should open a whole new window; that's not even
correct behaviour in the tab model IMO, but rather a relic from the
past.
