Add ability for online accounts on the sidebar to be opened in a new tab

The online accounts that you can enable on the sidebar like facebook, youtube, amazone, etc always open in a new window all though I have firefox already running. I would like to have the option to be able to open them in a new tab instead.

Solution #1:
Open in a new tab using the ctrl key
Written by

I propose that when you'd have your internet browser already running and you press for example ctrl + the facebook logo that facebook would then open in a new tab of your current browser window.
I say to enable it only with the ctrl key so that people who would not want to open these websites in a new tab won't have to.
and why 'ctrl'? because it is a standard worldwide option. Whenever you click on a link on the internet while holding 'ctrl' it will open automatically in a new tab.

Solution #2: Always open in a new tab if Firefox is running on current workspace
Written by

If Firefox is open on the current workspace, open the bookmark in a new tab in that running window.
But if Firefox is not open on the current workspace (or not open at all), open the bookmark in a new window of Firefox.
