I didn't manage to use the GPointer but I found a workaround. I set the
following values in the Mozilla User Preferences file:

user_pref("browser.link.open_newwindow", 1);
user_pref("browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction", 0);
user_pref("browser.link.open_external", 1);

All links will be opened in the same tab without any need to achieve
this behavior through the new-window callback.
