    Firefox question

    When clicking a link in a page to an external site, it loads up in a different browser entirely. Any way to get it to load as a new tab thats focused ?

    Cheers

    you might need an extension to set the forcing of windows, though i _KNOW_ i've done it before.

    to clone installs, copy & paste your c:\documents and settings\username\application data\mozilla\firefox folder

    I was looking through extensions (i was guessing this would be the case), but didnt find anything (it was only a quick browse to be fair).
    As for copying that dir...that simple eh ?
    Can you tell im in a lazy mood tonight ?

    Cheers bud

    Tabbrowser Preferences does the new tab thing. Install, restart Firefox, go to tools, options, Tabbed Browsing, and tweak to taste.
