What was actually winding me up, though, was not on-load popups, which
Firefox suppresses very effectively, but target-new links - where you
click on a link and it gives you the target in a new window. This is
completely and utterly wrong, worthless, irritating, unusable, evil, bad,
selfish and generally not on behaviour.

Oh, I disagree - there are lots of times I want a link to open in a new
window - or a new tab, in Firefox - and it doesn't, and then I swear
because I've lost the page I was originally looking at! I'd far rather
that was the default.....

Or is this just me?

As far as I'm concerned, I'm afraid it is! But each to his or her
own....
