Open a new window with window.open()

Hi,
=20
in our web application, we try to open a popup-window with
window.open(). But instead of opening a new window, a new tab is opened.
=20
In the SeaMonkey preferences, we configured it, to open new links in a
new tab. With firefox, we had the same preferences, but when
window.open() was called, a new window was opened.=20
How can we configure SeaMonkey, so that it has the Firefox behavior when
calling window.open() ?
=20
Thanks in advance.

Which version of Firefox?  Observe the value of the 
"browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction" [1] preference, also.  In 
my setup:
// Open links, that would normally open in a new window, in the
// current tab/window.
browser.link.open_newwindow=1
// Divert all links according to browser.link.open_newwindow, unless
// the new window specifies how it should be displayed...
browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction=2
If the page calls:
     window.open(url, windowName, 'resizable');
then a new window will be opened despite my first preference.  IIRC 
there was a bug in Firefox 3 preventing the 
"browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction" option to work as 
expected.  The behavior should be all the same since Firefox 
1.0/SeaMonkey 1.0, otherwise.
