What browser are you using furious? IE, Firefox etc.

Do they open in a new window or a new tab? I'm unsure which you mean.

Really need a bit of feedback from furiousgraphix but if IE, there's an option in 'General > Tabs Settings' for opening links in the current tab or Window. If Firefox, are there any tab extensions installed?
