I have an hp laptop that has configurable buttons on the keyboard for opening
browser windows for email / homepages, etc.  With mozilla 1.0, these buttons
would open new browsers.  With mozilla 1.0.1, and nightlies, now these pages
open up in existing windows.  I have to open a new browser window and then push
the button, making the whole process much more than "one touch."  Also, links in
AOL instant messenger used to open in new windows by default.  Now they too open
in existing windows.  There are no configuration options in either program to
alter this behaviour.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open browser window, go to a page
2. push one-touch button
Actual Results:  
Existing page is changed to one-touch page. 

Expected Results:  
open a new window with one-touch page
