Although this has already been an extension ( http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en ), I think that it would be better to have it natively supported. There are two scenarios: 1. you get a link in an outside program and want it to open in your current session, but not override the current tab (combined with user_pref("advanced.system.supportDDEExec", false); ) 3. you want a new window link in your current session to open inside your session instead of a new window (target="_new" or "_blank") Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Actual Results: Opens a new window Expected Results: Opens a new tab
lol. seeing as how you stole my exact words and just added a bit to them, i do believe i agree with what "you" say, and i put in my support for this feature/option. no wonder you asked me about it. :)~ i've grown very fond of tabs and only want new windows to open when *i* want new windows to open. to me, it makes sense for a tab-using browser to allow its users to use tabs all the time. :) i know i would.

Your #2(3?) already exists. user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true); Are you proposing that windows created with window.open() also become new tabs? If all you want is the first behavior, then this is INVALID. If you want the second, I suspicion this will be WONTFIXed.
Does browser.block.target_new_window force it to be a new tab or make it reuse the current tab? Yes, this is a request for an enhancement to enable window.open() to open a new tab instead of a new window.

Don't you think bug 105547 or bug 78037 or one of several other new window bugs already cover this? How is this different from the others?
