Is there ANY way to make links open in the same tab?

if im looking through a photo album and I click a photo I want it to open in the same tab and then I'll use backspace to go back and click the next.

on IE7 it behaves like this by default.

on FF I can change an option in about:config to make it do this (used to use tab mix plus add-on)

in safari and opera I can't make it do this (so I don't use them)

is there ANY way to make this otherwise outstanding browser handel links like this?

I dont think that ther is any way to links like this in Google Chorome.

I hjave tied to do the same thing but failed to find any way till now.
