I don't think this is something greasemonkey should be doing.  Even
though I prefer tabbed browsing, I don't think others should be forced to
use it in place of using multiple windows.  If someone wants to replace
new windows with new tabs, s/he should go to Preferences -> Advanced ->
Tabbed Browsing -> Force links that open new windows to open in -> a new
tab, or muck around in about:config, which provides a bit more control.

Good scripts could provide a user option for new tab vs new window, but
that seems redundant to just setting the firefox global setting.
