Right-Click On Link default change

[drodgers99]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

-Premise: I like to right-click web page link, open menu, select Open In New Window. Typically have 8-12 FF windows open at once.
-Bug: (Ubuntu bundled) FF upgrade to v3.0b5, pop-up menu wants to open default (whatever) under Edit, Preferences, Applications, Mail To: menu.

-Workaround: Edit, Preferences, Tabs, select radio dot "a new tab". Check boxes "Always show the tab bar" -and- "When I open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately". The workaround works, only difference is every open FF window web page is open within a Tab.

Hope this report helps to whom it may concern.

Forgot to mention: sometimes right clicking link opens in a tab within same FF window. The effect is unpredictable.
