Result of entering 'v' within mutt -- hopefully not too OT

Assembled Wisdom!

I have been running mutt for a good many years from with my
Debian Linux distribution. A couple of days ago I upgraded from
Debian etch to Debian squeeze and got mutt 1.5.20. It has
one behavior that I don't like and I hope that it can be
changed: when I type 'v' within mutt I am given a choice of
viewing the message within a browser window. My Firefox is almost
always open, and previously mutt would display the message within
a new Tab. Now a new Firefox Window is opened. I don't like that!
Can I change that behaviour e.g. with a command in my .muttrc?
The above is what I posted to the mutt E-list. I got one
person who wrote, "yeah, I'd like to know that too"; but
otherwise nothing.

Maybe someone here knows something about configuring mutt?

Failing that, how easy is it to go back to an older version
of mutt? My mutt on etch always opened a new Tab. <sigh>

Best wishes to all,

Alan
