277748 - Dont open new links in tabs in popup windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 243893

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, enhancement)

Description

[Henrik Gemal]

if you set the new window from other applications to "open new tab" you
sometimes run into the problem where the current window is a popup window. So
the new tab is created inside the popup window, which is really really weird
since most popup windows dont have the tab navigation etc.

why not first determain if the current window is a popup window or not.

you should be able to check "window.content.opener" to see if it's empty or not.
If it's empty create the tab, if it's not create a new window.
