Thanks for your feedback.

I think these about.config prefs are "ignored" because Mozilla is not 
handling the tabs UI here, GTK is.

Typeaheadfind is very tricky. It depends on whether you are using a 
Seamonkey or Firefox backend, and on whether or not certain patches are 
installed, on how this behaves. It doesn't surprise me that this pref 
doesn't do what it theoretically should do.

I don't think there is a setting for this currently.

But when http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310814 gets resolved, 
you will be able to click a link with a modifier key and have it open 
in a new window.
