I would furthermore like the option, via an item on the right-click context menu, to open the link in the current window instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

The overriding of "open in new window" should happen by pressing SHIFT (that is, the key that is set to make links open in a new window normally). Integration with existing modifier keys to open in new window or new tab: when pressing SHIFT or CTRL over a link, the mouse pointer will change to include a new window symbol, or new tab symbol. When hovering over a link that opens in a new window by default it also changes to include the new window symbol. In this situation the modifier key for "open in new window" will make the symbol disappear to open in the same window, just as described above.

How to change the cursor when hovering over a link is described here: http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/tips#lay_linkcursornew Different ways to visually indicate links that open new windows (and methods to override this behaviour) are already discussed in bug 14027. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 14027 ***
