Currently entering a URL into the Rocketbar when you're in a browser window will always launch a new browser window. The spec says it should navgiate the current window if the current window is a browser window.

Just to confirm (because that sounds weird)... You should only re-use the current browser window if the user type in a URL and hits enter. A window.open(), <a target="_blank"> or view URL web activity should still create a new window, right?

If the request comes from the page, yes - but not from the search app. UX wants all searches, url navigation, and web result clicks from the search app to open in the current browser frame. The current behavior in master should be correct,but we still need to fix bug 1060191.
