Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 262575

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Eddie Hung]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026 Firefox/1.0RC1

Clicking on the "Get More Extensions" link from the extensions manager opens
"update.mozilla.org" in a new window, regardless of what the "Advanced->Tabbed
Browsing->Force links that open in new windows to open in" setting is. I have
mine currently set to "a new tab", and it does not respect this, nor does it
respect "the same tab/window as link" when that is selected instead (having tried).

The only extension I have enabled is Adblock, which does not affect this
problem, as I can reproduce this problem with it disabled.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select Tools -> Extensions
2. Click on the "Get More Extensions" link
3.

Actual Results:  
A new window containing "update.mozilla.org" is opened.

Expected Results:  
Respect the "Force links that open in new windows to open in" setting.

i.e. if "a new tab" was selected, then the web page should be opened in a new tab.

Also, after right clicking on an extension inside extension manager and
selecting "Visit Homepage", the resulting URL is also opened in a new window,
with no regard to the "Force links that open in new windows to open in" setting.
