Thanks for that. Can anyone tell me how to change my keyboard shortcuts so
that shift-click opens the page in a new tab instead of a new window?

The SingleWindow or TabBrowser Preferences (or even TabBrowser
Extensions) extension will do what you want.  I think they even handle
target="_blank", but if not, add the following to your user.js file:

// disable target="_blank" (open in same window):
user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);

Unfortunately this doesn't work with Gmail links; I always
middle-click those to get a new tab.
