Just started to open links in a new window instead of a new also safe mode of Firefox tab doesn't do anything, how can I fix?

When I click on a link, firefox opens in a new window. It is used to open it in a new tab instead which is what I prefer. I've never had this problem until last night, so I have no idea what might have started it. I tried the suggestion to put firefox in safe mode and still the same problem. I have firefox 15.0.1 on windows 7.

What security (firewall, antivirus) software do you have?

Try to start the computer in safe mode Windows with network support (on the startup screen, press F8) as a test to see if it works.

Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

See "create a profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "tools > Modules > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.

If the new profile works then you can transfer files from the old profile to the new profile, but make sure not to copy corrupted files.
