Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 155402

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peter Lockhart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020817
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020817

I have recently upgraded from M1.0 to 1.1 pre-release 2002081716

Previously with 1.0, when clicking on a link in a mail message in Outlook, a new
browsing window would open for each link clicked. Now, with 1.1, subsequent
links clicked open in the same browser window, basically overwriting your
previously opened link.

This is almost the corollary of bug 146294
Ideally it should be a preference

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on URL in Outlook mail
2. browser opens and site is loaded.
3. click on another url link in an Outlook mail
4. same browser is used for new link


Actual Results:  
subsequent links are opened in the same browser

Expected Results:  
Each link clicked should open in a new window.

As a bizarre aside to this, I was doing a print preview in this same browser
window. The print preview window was still open when I clicked a link in an email.

This link opened in the print preview window !
