Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 278671

(Firefox :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Craig Buckingham]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321

Not a bug. Enhancement

Reproducible: Always




MS IExplore creates new page as current when Ctrl+N is pressed.

Firefox goes to default page instead.

A new page at the current location is handy when Javascript is used for links 
as "Open link in new window/tab" wont work.

Does Clone Window ( http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/clonewindow )
handle what you need?
