When you click on a link that has a target specified, and a frame of that name
does not exist, it would be nice to be able to get the new page to open in the
current window (or tab) rather than a new window.
I understand alot of people may not want that to happen, so mabey turning it
into a pref may be an idea.

The testcase contains 4 links. If you open it in a window without any frames,
the last three open as new windows. It would be nice if they opend in the same
window as where I clicked the link (or tab if tab browsing is on)
It's designed to be called test.html

This can't be default, because many pages (incorrectly) use target="foo" to
make links open in a new window. (The correct way to make a link open in a new
window is target="_blank", which *always* opens in a new window, regardless of
whether a previous link with target="foo" created a window with the name "foo".)
Mozilla already has a hidden pref for this, thanks to akkana in bug 56296. Add
this line to your prefs.js file while Mozilla isn't running:
user_pref("browser.target_new_blocked", true);
Making this pref not be hidden is covered by bug 75371, "UI prefs to control
pop-up (popup) windows and other Javascript annoyances", even though
target=_blank isn't javascript.
