Consider the following code in a background script:

```
  messenger.windows.create({
    url:"http://www.google.de",
    type: "normal",
  });
```

This will create an entire new mail3pane window with the url loaded in a second tab. This feels wrong. 

Is this the intended behavior?
Are we able to get rid of the additional mail3pane tab?
Should we change the API to open the URL in the default browser?

Should we change the API to open the URL in the default browser, if type normal is used?
