I finally made the jump to Linux after one bloody virus related pop-up too many on Windows this past weekend. So far, everything’s been good. But there’s one thing that’s driving me about batty. I can’t figure out how to stop Firefox from opening multiple windows when I click on a link in an email or the occasional site.
I swear there was an option on Windows that when checked forced Firefox to open a new tab if it was already open. Am I going blind, senile or this not an option on the Linux version?

Know what happens when you install a Microsoft beta under “what could happen” thinking? I’ll tell you. Your computer won’t reboot properly after a crash, forcing you to reinstall the OS just to find out you can’t activate it and the support folks don’t know what the f’ went wrong. So, you have to find the old version and once you get it reinstalled you get to spend a couple of weeks reinstalling everything else. That is – once you find all the discs and hunt down the required serials.
And all the while you’re pre-schooler will enjoy learning the proper context for the words ‘damned’, ‘shit’ and ‘jesus christ’ when they’re not telling complete strangers about how their mommy’s mad at the ‘damned computer’.
