Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.5

In firefox-3.0, if I clicked a link in some other program, which
presumably invokes 'firefox http://example.com', this URL would open in
a new tab. In 3.5, it opens in the currently focussed tab, replacing
whatever content you had there previously. This makes it difficult to,
say, read an email and open a number of links in it without first going
to firefox and opening a blank tab for each one.
