Edit: Well it must have been something in my NoScript settings. I reset everything to default and only imported my whitelist. I can't reproduce the problem anymore.
You beat me to the punch, while I was testing and composing, so I might as well post. It may reveal the erroneous setting:

This is how it has always worked in the past, but with the latest NoScript (even tried to dev version) links are opening in the same tab. If I disable NoScript and restart Firefox, links open in new tabs again. Enable NoScript and they open in the same tab again. Even though I've permanently whitelisted the site, they still open in the same tab. I've also tried disabling scripts globally but that didn't do anything either.
Did you mean, allowing scripts globally? NoScript's default is to disable scripts globally, except for those in the
Default Whitelist and any added or temporarily allowed by the user.

With ipbforums script NOT allowed, I reproduced your results: left-click on healthforums link opens in same tab.
With ipbforums script allowed or temp-allowed, left-click on healthforums link opens in a new tab.
The reason that disabling NoScript changes the behavior is that disabling NS is the same as allowing all scripting on the planet, including your site.
What
exactly did you whitelist? The most foolproof method is to visit the site, open the NS menu, and click "Allow" (or temp-allow) the site.
Manual entries in the whitelist may contain typos.
Also, comparing settings in
about:config:
browser.link.open_newwindow;3
browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external;-1
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction;2
In Firefox Tools > Options > Tabs, I have checked
Open new windows in a new tab instead.
p. s.: Fx 12.0 is now the latest stable release.
