Unfortunately when I tried the Single Window extension on Firefox for Mac OS-X, it clobbered my bookmark toolbar showing a blank bar, and removed some of the theme setting chrome. Hummm... and this was the only flaw I saw in Firefox, the lack of a setting as in Safari, to open external links in new tab instead of new window. I wonder if Windows users have the same experience or is the Mac platform unique.

If you're on a Mac, control-clicking a link will open a contextual menu that will allow you to do a number of things including opening the contents of a link in a new tab (behind the current tab by default - your current tab stays in front). Other this you can do inlcude opening the link in a new window, bookmarking the link, copying the link; try it you'll see the rest... This way you can choose on a link-by-link basis what you want to do.
