Configuration for tabs can be found at
Edit->Preferences...->Navigator->Tabbed Browsing. This section used to
contain an option for making all new windows open ina new tab, but that
was before this bug:

http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=105547

If you look at the end of the bug, however, you'll find the following
comment that might be helpful:

<begin comment from bug>
user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);

Putting that in your user.js file will cause *ALL* links to open in the
current
tab. That way you can decide which links you'd like to open in new tabs
yourself.
