How's come my new FF 3.0 isn't opening new links in a new tabby? I have elected to use tabs in the options. Am I missing something or is this not the way it works?

So you have set Tools > Options > Tabs properly.
My understanding is that links can be html-programmed to force a new window, overriding a tabs-default. I normally just right-click on a link (and on bookmarks too, for that matter) and 'Open Link in New Tab'.

I read that holding the control key down opens a new tab. That worked ok. Thanks.

A middle click usually opens a new tab too.

It is true, you can set this option in Tools>>Options>>Tabs

Click the radio button for News pages should be opened in a...... New Tab

Now any link that is targeted for a new window will be opened in a new tab instead.

The Tab Mix Plus extension can add many other options.

I didn't know the middle button opened a new tab. That's what I was looking for. Thanks.

I did the Tools>>>Options>>>Tabs thing. It still opened in a new window on the same tab. I read that this might happen.

I do like the middle button though. that will work for me.

Thanks.
