From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1a+) Gecko/20020621 BuildID: 2002062109 this *might* be mirc problem, but it works with IE correctly. mIRC, someone types a url, you right click on it, and have the option of either opening in a new browser, or use the one thats always open. With IE this works correctly, but with mozilla (all builds so far i guess) the browser ALWAYS opens a new window. It gets cumbersome to have a new window open when you can just reuse the other one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run mirc and type in/have someone type a url 2. right click on url 3. choose "open" and it opens a new browser, fine. 4. choose "open" again, and instead of reusing the previous browser, it opens yet a new one. Again, this behavior does not exist in I.E. or opera if i remember correctly. Actual Results: browsers keep opening a new window. Expected Results: browser should reuse (if any) previously opened windows Note on the status of this bug... i chose "Minor" because it is, but a little note: Minor: well, its a minor loss of function, but i dont think there is a work around.

IMO, this should be a Mozilla pref (bug 75138), not an mIRC pref. IE already has this pref and I don't know why mIRC copies it.

This is not a question of prefs. It is a context menu option. Do you know if mIRC uses DDE to open the URL? and if so, what DDE commands does it issue differently? I couldn't find any documentation in MSDN about this issue to determine if there is an accepted standard for external applications to "Open in New Window" Component->XP Apps: GUI Features; dependent on 75138

Reassigning obsolete bugs to their respective Seamonkey owners (i.e. nobody). If you want this fixed for Firefox, change the Product and Component accordingly and reassign back to me.
