If it is an Addon-SDK extension use something like this:

var name = "browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction";
require("sdk/preferences/service").set(name, 0);

If it's a restartless or classic (overlay) extension you can use nsIPrefService and nsIPrefBranch (via Services.jsm)

var {classes:Cc, interfaces:Ci, utils:Cu, results:Cr, Constructor:CC} = Components;
const {Services} = Cu.import("resource://gre/modules/Services.jsm", {});
var branch = Services.prefs.getBranch("browser.link.open_newwindow.");
branch.setIntPref('restriction', 0);
