    Firefox 4 question


    Is there an addon or an edit for the about:config thing that makes it so pop ups appear as tabs.

    Like I watch a lot of videos, and sometimes a 2nd window pops up that appears with the video like so.

    Not certain that this is what you want, as I'm not familiar with the type of pop-up you cited. The following extension has a specific setting, in its Links menu, "Enable Single Window Mode", which may be what you are seeking:

    If that is not what you want or need, then I did not post this reply....

    Thanks! This option is basically what I wanted.

    "Open links that open in a new window in a Tab". Perfect! Thanks.

    Don't need an addon to do it.

    Just go into about:config in the address bar, and set - browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction

    to 0. Popups will always open up in a new tab with it set to 0.
