Hang on, I think that's got to do with Tear Bookmarks's behavior, nothing to do with Browser Switchboard. That said, the built-in bookmarks behave the same way too, which is a definite behavior change from when Browser-Switchboard isn't installed (wonder if I should document this).

Most definitely. I'd fall into the "hates the MicroB behavior" category.

Less intrusive would be to make a pref in browser-switchboard for it -- but the point is moot anyway, since I'm not aware of a way to control whether a link passed to any of the browsers other than MicroB should open in a new window or an existing window. Without that support we can't do much about this.
