How do I set Firefox to open items in the same window instead of a new tab or window?
I want to be able to open items (such as click on the results of a search) and not have it open in a new tab or window, just open in the same window (as the search results).

Type about:preferences#general<Enter> in the address bar. Check the settings under Tab.
Awesome! I checked off "Don't load tabs until selected" and that seems to do the trick. Thanks for the help!
Hmmm... I stand corrected-- the settings I changed still either open in a new window or tab. I am looking for it to open in the same window and the same tab... is there a way to do this?
Some links are pre-programed to open in new links or new windows. You can override this by right clicking and selecting open . . . . . .
It only gives me the option to open in a new tab or new window when I right click.
Hmmm. Well then, that is what you have to work with. Unless one of the big guys knows hot to change it.
See:

- 1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
For links opened via JavaScript you can look at this pref:
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.
