When in secondary window open link as new tab opens tab in primary window
Hi! As discussed in bugzilla issue 626365 FF4.x no longer opens links as new tabs in secondary windows, but in primary windows even if that means opening a new primary window just for that purpose. This worked perfectly fine in FF3 and is much appreciated behavior for all those who make use of tickers that tend to open in secondary (pop-up) windows. I tried to understand the reasoning in the bug, but cannot follow, especially the argument that FF4 behavior is better UX. I strongly disagree on that point, because FF4 does something that I strongly doubt is expected behavior. Besides t...

window.open() opens new window
Firefox 19.0 Windows XP Pro SP-3 Example site URL: http://www.pcconnection.com/ (I've hit this problem at many sites, however.) Firefox is configured (enabled) as: Tools -> Options -> Tabs "Open new windows in a new tab instead" = Enabled Presumably this means when a page tries to open a new window (another instance of the web browser) that instead a new tab will appear in the current window. Works that way in IE8 (when "Always open popups in a new tab" is enabled). Go down the page and click on the "Site Help" link. What I get...

tabs open from email, saving open windows and tabs, comparing email programs
Hi Mozilla, I am using Mozilla 1.7.1 and I have a few questions, they might be repetitive, covered earlier, but I will at least try to make them clear. I would like to use the tabbed browsing more.. when a link is opened from email (which is frequent) is there a way to have it open up a new tab on the current window ? Without first separately creating the open tab by ctrl-T or whatever ? I use Eudora for email. Also generally, is the Mozilla email getting close to the standards in email like Eudora. I am comfortable with the filtering and searching in Eudora, but a...

window.open and window.opener
Sorry for a really dumb post. I am not a scripting person... I find the whole thing a bit strange really with losely coupled types ect...Anyway, I am putting together a ASP.NET v2 application. One of the pages I am planning on implementing a link to open a pop-up window. In this popup window, the user will select the location of somthing, the window close and the value returned back to one of the parent browsers controls. I know this is not rocket science and I have done endless searches to try and find the answer. I am loading up the page and passing in the ClientID of the control I wish to...

Tabs and windows, windows and tabs
What I think (new whine at the end): I don't have a problem with calling them windows, but they look like independent occurrences of FireFox, and all the knobs ought to behave like the knobs on two unrelated occurrences of different-and-un-related programs do. (That's not very clear, I'll try by example. If I have four "windows" open, one for Solitaire, one for Excel (in case the boss wanders by), and two windows for Firefox (none of your business what for). The file-exit, task-bar-close, and x-in-the-corner behaviour should be the same in all four windows...
