Bug Description
Binary package hint: epiphany
After years of using Firefox, I expect links to open in new tabs. Instead I get a new window. The best example is if you click on a story at digg.com... I think I would get the desired effect if I middle clicked on everything, but this laptop does not have a middle clicker. It also seems that epiphany does not obey the about:config and instead uses gconf. about:config has the prefs in there that should get the desired effect.
I propose that Epiphany should at least be given a working gconf option to allow all links to open in tabs.
