a hrefs are set to target="new" which is not defined in the standard as anything other than a name.This used to work in very old versions of Firefox but shouldn't anymore:http://www.ibrian.co.uk/01-09-2009/fire ... new/_blank should be used instead if the intention is to have them default to a new window/tab:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 5).aspxFor now just hold ctrl when you click.

that has happened to many several times these last days.it didn't really investigate, but it seems that it depends on the thread : some thread will open linked pages in a new tab while other (few) will open in the same page.
