200516 - Mozilla opens new navigator window in tabbed browsing mode

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 105547

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Crayx]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401

When surfing, Mozilla often opens a new navigator window in tabbed browsing
mode.  More specific when a link has a target:"_blank" option then mozilla opens
it in a new navigator window in stead of in a new TAB window within the same
navigator.  I don't know if it is monzilla's intention of doing this, but
personaly I think that there should be atleast an option to decide wheter you
want to work completely tabbed (so only ONE navigator window) or like the curent
situation.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Make a link like this and klik on it
2.<a href="http://www.anandtech.com/" target="_blank">AnandTech</a>
3.which site you link to doesn't matter.

Actual Results:  
In tabbed browsing mode mozilla opens the site in a new navigatorwindow instead
of in a new tab within the same navigator window.

Expected Results:  
Open the link in a new tab within the same navigator window.
