Ok guys, I have always wanted the prefs to stay in the options window. With that
said, IF this patch lands (or something similar), than the current wording of
the options clearly become even more problematic. When a user can’t even figure
out what the options mean in the first place, then there is no point for the
options to be there. If the devs approve new strings, than I am more than happy
to withdraw my suggestion. Otherwise, I don’t think leaving in the strings as
they are is a good idea -> they are too confusing. When the localization freeze
ends, the strings can be corrected and the options added back.

Easily done. If browser.link.open_newwindow and browser.link.open_external = 3
open tab in focus = 4 open tab in background. Also, I was thinking of TBP when I
asked for an extension to step up.
