Hmm, I currently dont see this problem - in the 1.0 relaese and nightly builds, the last opened window IS used, but that's a problem if the last opened window is console-type (no nav controls) because FF is hijacking the window by creating a new, invisible tab (instaed of opening the new tab in the root window, or at least displaying the tabs in the child window)... Example, click in 'my profile' at https://www.breezeway.tv then click the external app link..

I see this problem with Fedora Core 3 + latest updates and Firefox 1.0 (installed from FC3 channel) when clicking links from Thunderbird 0.9 (latest version available from FC3 channel). I have "Firefox" selected as my default browser under GNOME's Applications -> Preferences -> More Preferences -> Preferred Applications control panel and "a new tab in the most recent window" selected in Firefox's Edit -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Tabbed Browsing -> "Open links from other applications in:" control.

I also see this problem, fedora core 3, using both firefox 1.0 (20041111 build I think it was) and now still after applying latest updates: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050323 Firefox/1.0.2 Fedora/1.0.2-1.3.1 It was working correctly until a few days ago, but I don't know what changed (it wasn't a firefox or thunderbird upgrade however). I have this line in prefs.js: user_pref("browser.link.open_external", 3); It also happens when opening links from the terminal, so is not thunderbird-specific. I have the following extensions: Colorzilla, CookieCuller, Viewcookies, WebDeveloper. I believe I installed them after first noticing the tabs problem, but perhaps not?
Upgraded my box from Suse9.1 to 9.3 with a clean install and I still have the same problems.
