    Appears to be opening links in a new window when it's set to open in a new tab. I've disabled TMP and the problem appears to corrected itself.

    Anyone else notice?

    No problems here running FF 3.0.4 and TMP 0.3.7.3

    UPDATE: Yes, I am seeing some oddities...Hmmmm...I will need to look at when the latest TMP was installed

    UPDATE TO UPDATE: October 19th was the last update to TMP. I did some more rooting around and retract my previous update; no oddities other than the human behind the keyboard here

    Perhaps a conflict with another add-on? Are you running any others that have been updated since the problem began?

    Yeah, it could be a conflict with another add on cuz it just started happening again with TMP disabled. NoScript updates frequently, I'll try that. What a PITA.

    I am running the most recent NoScript, too, so it is probably not that.

    I backup the settings of each Firefox extension that has an option to do so. I also backup my bookmarks to an html file. I keep links to all the extensions I have installed so that I can locate them quickly. That way I can completely uninstall Firefox, delete all the folders and registry entries, and reinstall completely clean without having to guess at all the individual settings for the extensions.

    Comes in handy when I play around with the Alphas and early Betas. I suppose it could be used in a situation such as yours, too. ;)
