I want Firefox to never use tabs, ever. Whenever a new window is requested (e.g., middle-click) I want it to open in a new window instead of a tab.

"Preferences / New pages should open in / A new window" is insufficient. Middle-click and option-click still open the link in a new tab.

This doesn't fix it either. It used to:
user_pref("browser.tabs.opentabfor.middleclick", false);

This broke sometime between 1.0 and 2.0.0.5. It is still broken in 3.0.
