This is a difficult one, as it is something that is controlled by the user's web browser settings.

The method that you are using is specific to FireFox and will indeed open a new tab. But this can still be overridden by the user's settings.

However to get the same effect in other browsers here is an article for IE Open a new tab in IE through Javascript

It is worth considering why you need to do this. Users may be confused if you open a new tab / window without informing them. Is it possible to not open a new window and keep everything in the same page? Then you know that people logically will have the same results to an extent.

I hope this helps!
