From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 Setting user_pref("browser.target_new_blocked", true); in the prefs.js does not work anymore in 0.9.9, even though it worked fine in 0.9.8. I *REALLY* hope this is just a bug, as I found this setting extremely useful. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Well, should be quite obvious: Just add the setting to prefs.js 2. And try with a page with a link with target=whatever 3. Actual Results: The setting seems to be ignored: Links with target=whatever tag open in a new window. Expected Results: It should work as 0.9.8: That is, open it in the same window.

The pref got renamed to "browser.block.target_new_window", so you need to change it in your prefs.js (and it now has UI in the Scripts & Windows panel in preferences, so you can just use that).
