I was able to do that with Firebird 0.7 version. I just had to load an
extension. I think the one I used was called Tabbrowser Preferences (it
is available for Firefox). It says:
This extension adds GUI options to change some of the hidden tab browser
preferences available in Firefox. It also enables "single window mode"
by opening links in a new tab instead of a new window.

You can see it here:

You can check out all the tab extensions here:
