I finally notice how many I now have opened

Look, I run websites, and I know that creating these additional tabs enhances this forums views and hits, but by the time I finally notice how many I now have opened, I spend 10 minutes closing them. PLUS they take up memory which then slowly slows the computer down.
Please, stop opening a new tab, just let me post in the tab that I already have open.

If you run websites why are you having a problem I have 0 issues with?

The only time a new tab is supposed to open is when you click on the last reply in the MyATS screen.

Emphasis added.
This is what he´s doing, stop being smartasses if you can´t comprehend the problem.
Maybe guess that I may be having the same trouble comprehended like you said to the mod.
The last post link on the myATS page is coded to open a new window or tab so that is not a browser setting.

If it were a browser setting, it would not be the standard one.
You (as the webmaster) can setup links so they all will open in one tab with the "target"-tag. It´s done in the HTML/CSS part and has nothing to do with ones browser setting.
IE/FF/Chrome do not always yield the same results for the same page because they parse the content differently.
But what do I know...
Users who want to change this behavior need to type in about:config in a tab in the Firefox web browser. This should open the Firefox configuration. First time users need to accept a disclaimer. They then need to filter for the term browser.link.open_newwindow. The default value of that entry is 3 which opens links that would normally open in a new window in a new tab.
To force Firefox to open links (no matter if they have been designed to open in a new tab or window) in the same tab one would need to change the value to [1] which will open all links that would normally open in a new window in the same tab. Changing the value to [2] would open new windows in a new window (duh).
Value of 1: Opens links that would normally open in a new tab or new window in the current tab or window
Value of 2: Open links that would normally open in a new window, in a new window
Value of 3: Open links that would normally open in a new window in a new tab in the current window (default)
