Explorer as a new tab

Is it possible to change a setting so explorer, mentor, etc open as new tabs rather than as pop-ups?  I find the formatting is not always correct and I end up expanding the window a bit and honestly would just as soon have all those open as tabs anyway.

Apologize if this has been asked and answered.  I did do a search first by did not find it.

You can generally do this in any browser by RIGHT clicking on the link, and selecting OPEN IN NEW TAB from the context menu.

Unfortunately here it just opens the page you are already on a 2nd time - at least it does for me in chrome

So if you have an online chess game open (with Chrome), and you right click on the Analyse button: do you get offered these options?

And if you do, what happens when you click on the first item (Open link in new tab)?
