Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open Browser with blank window 2. Ctrl-Shift-L 3.Choose location + Open in new Tab Actual Results: New tab opens with location, however you are stuck with an empty tab. Expected Results: Do not open the location in a new tab, Open the location in the empty window instead. Although this seems counter-intuitive, what possible reason is there to open a new tab when one tab would be blank? Alternate solutions could include changing the default "Open in:" choice to "Current Navigator Window" if the current window is blank
If the user wanted to open in the current tab, that's what he'd do. Explicitely overriding the user's request to open the page in a new tab would be just wrong.
