How to make HTML open a hyperlink in another window or tab?

This is a line for a hyperlink in HTML:

<a href="http://www.starfall.com/">Starfall</a>

Thus, if I click on "Starfall" my browser - I am using FireFox - will take me to that new page and the contents of my window will change. I wonder, how can I do this in HTML so that the new page is opened in a new window instead of changing the previous one? Is there such a way in HTML?

And if yes, is there a way to open the requested page in another tab (not another window) of my browser?

Solution 
  • <a href="http://www.starfall.com/" target="_blank">Starfall</a>

    Whether it opens in a tab or another window though is up to how a user has configured her browser.
