268737 - Internal links (i.e. "Get More Extensions" in the extensions menu) should honor tabbed browsing preferences

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262575

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Ryan Cannon]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Clicking on "Get More Extensions" automatically opens a new window even if
preferences are set to open links from applications in a new tab in the same
window. Get More Extensions (and other Firefox App links) should follow
program-wide preferences

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools>Extensions
2.Click on "Get More Extensions" link
3.A new window will open regardless of tabbed browsing preferences

Actual Results:  
I have two Firefox windows open

Expected Results:  
I should have two tabs open in the same window.

There are a bunch of bugs for this already, but I'm too lazy to track them down
now.  Search for "should repect tabbed" or "should respect tabbed" in summary
and you should find most of them, I think.
