Open links in new tab in Firefox?

[Gustavo Seabra <seabra@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

How can I configure Firefox so that it will  open a link in a new tab 
instead of a new window? I  already have this option selected in the 
Firefox preferences --> Advanced --> Tabbed browsing -->
  "Open links from other applications in:"
       ...
       "a new tab in the most recent window.",
but when I click on a link in Thunderbird, it always opens a new Firefox 
window. Is there anywhere else I should change?
I'm using:
   FC3
   KDE
   Firefox 1.0
   Thunderbird 0.9

Thanks,
