105753 - target=_new circumvents "open tab for: windows opened by web page" pref

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 105547

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

I have the top 5 (of 6) tab browser prefs enabled. Following a href's with
target=_new pop open a new window.

Good work with this feature guys, can't wait till the kinks get ironed out.
Beats waiting for new windows to render.

in this case target="_blank"

Bugzilla, using target="other", is also opened in new window even though "open
tab for: windows opened by web page" prefernce is set.
I would love all targets to open in tabs. (and i've wanted to open pages in
background for years).
This is the html snippit:
<a href="http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?GoAheadAndLogIn=1"
target="other">log in</a>

I think this is a dup of bug 105547, which states that pref isn't implemented yet.
