Microsoft CRM and Quick Tabs in IE 7
One easy way to simplify Microsoft Dynamics CRM navigation is to use tabbed browsing in Internet Explorer 7. With tabbed browsing enabled, CRM forms will open in a new tab rather than a new window, keeping all of your CRM windows in the same place.
To enable tabbed browsing, go to your IE internet settings General tab and click the settings button under the Tab section
Under "When a pop-up is encountered:" select "Always open pop-ups in a new tab." Now any forms in CRM will open in a new tab.
One important thing to note--do not enable Quick Tabs. Quick Tabs is a new feature in IE 7 and 8 that allows users to hit a button and see thumbnail previews of all tabs.
The problem is that if quick tabs are enabled, CRM will freeze when new forms or advanced find is opened. After disabling quick tabs, CRM forms should open properly.

Thank you so much for this tip! I've been waiting for a solution to this bug ever since IE7 was released, so that makes it about 2 years now.
