[Bug 75758] Re: Firefox doesn't display new windows in new tabs despite option being set

[Alexander Sack]

ok taking ... will be fixed soon. Thanks for your evaluation.

** Description changed:

+ 
+ Solution: synching default settings for both:
+ 
+   browser.link.open_external
+ 
+ and
+ 
+   browser.link.open_newwindow
+ 
+ to the same value.
+ 
+ -------------
+ 
  Clean install of Edgy from Alternate CD. Using Firefox for the first
  time: Open a web page and then follow a link that wants to open a new
  window, it will open a new window.
  
  This is despite the fact that the default option setting in Firefox:
  "New pages should be opened in: a new tab".
  
  Setting the option to: 
  "a new window" 
   
  then closing the preferences and then reopening preferences and then checking:
  "a new tab"
  
  and closing preferences again results in the expected behaviour.

** Tags removed: mt-needtester
