FireFox 1.0 provides several additional options in this regard but
even in 0.9.3 you can open new links in a tab -- the middle-click does
it for you, the right-click gives you a menu.

Of course you said "email" so you must be talking about links from the
email client in Mozilla... so that's where FireFox 1.0 lets you choose
to open all new links in tabs by default.

You can also add an argument to the url-handler definition (in the
Gconf editor) so clicking links opens them in a new tab in Mozilla or
Firefox, but that is probably more effort than most people will want
to go to... there's no reason to get that complicated when Mozilla
works for you! (I presume Mozilla will continue to be available as an
installable package as long as one exists.)
