Tools > Options > Tabs, For "New pages should open in:" select Tabs instead of windows. Firefox was recently updated & your settings might have been wiped or sumthin. If that's not it then I dunno...

*Edit:* I swear that edit wasn't there a second ago but it says you did it like 30 minutes ago...

I've had this happen before. Smash the ctrl and alt keys back and forth a few times -- once in a while they get stuck down, but not actually depressed. It's weird.
