I have the open new windows in a new tab option selected yet it still opens in the same window.
Firefox v28.0, Mac OS X 10.9.2, 3.5 GHz Intel Core i7.
Operating in safe mode. In the preferences menu I have the "Open new window in a new tab instead" box checked yet when I click on links the new page opens in the current window. If I control click I have the option of opening the new window in a new tab

The setting in Tools > Options > Tabs: "New pages should be opened in": "a new tab/window" is for links that specify a target window to open the link.
That option allows to divert such links to a new tab instead of a new window.
Links that do not specify a target always open in the current tab unless you override that with a middle-click or Ctrl left-click (new tab) or Shift left-click (new window) or via the right-click context menu.
