(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1)

I've set my tabbed browsing so that I always open a new tab instead of a new window.
When going to that page and clicking on the automotive link it opens a new
window instead.

Note: When using the search on the Mozilla bug reporting page does exactly the
same. Looks like when a new window is opened using Javascript it actually opens
a new window instead of a new tab.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on  the Automative link
2.
3.

Actual Results:  Opens new window

Expected Results:  Opens new tab
