Yes, that's what I'd expect by default from any tabbed browser.

<<When you select "open links in a new tab", on peoples website where they've
set target="" _new or _blank, firefox will make sure THOSE links open in a
new tab, but links without that attribute target won't open in a new tab
unless you hold control while clicking, center clicking, or right clicking.>>

That's weird, from a browser that claims to be fully tabbed. Those web 
pages would, I should think, be the exception rather than the rule.

If that's really the case, unless I can force FF to tab ALL new pages, I 
think I'll stick to Maxthon, which does.
