116719 - if link wants to open in new window, offer option to open in existing window from menu

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 70990

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Philip White]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221
BuildID:    2001122106

I use Mozilla tabs a lot with http://www.fark.com/ because each of their links
opens in a new window, but in some cases I want to override the HTML page's
instructions and open the link in the current window.

I would like this option to appear in the right-click menu of a hyperlink.

So, if the link is designed to open in an existing window/frame, offer "Open in
new window" and "Open in new tab", BUT if the link is designed to open in a new
window, offer "Open in existing window" and "Open in new tab".

I think this feature is very useful for some people, yet does not interfere with
anyone else's Mozilla experience.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Right-click on a hyperlink.

Actual Results:  The right-click menu offers the same two options for every kind
of link.

Expected Results:  The right-click menu should offer to open a link in a new
window for links that are supposed to open in the existing window, YET should
offer to open a link in the EXISTING window for links that are supposed to open
in a new window.
