That's my reason, too -- but I am also used to opening new windows, rather 
than new tabs (I'm trying to break this old IE habit).

One thing that I would like to be able to do, is to have the new window or 
tab inherit the history of the "parent" window or tab. Sometimes, I go deep 
into a site (or across the sites), and along the way I have a small branch 
that I open in a new window. Then if I decide that I need to go back to a 
place before the branch, it is easier to click "Back" a couple of times in 
the "child" window, than to click fifteen times in the "parent" window to 
get to the same page.

Thank you for the "Open in New Tab/Window" tricks. I just upgraded to 
2.0.0.3, were these options not available in 1.5?
