Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050817 Firefox/1.0+ checkout start: Wed Aug 17 01:14:01 2005 UTC+0800 checkout finish: Wed Aug 17 01:18:33 2005 UTC+0800 Steps to reproduce: 1. Set Firefox to open all windows in new tabs (browser.link.open_newwindow = 3) 2. Open attached testcase. 3. Click on the link. 4. Return to the first tab if it opened in the foreground. 5. Click the link again Expected Results: Only one new tab is created, subsequent clicks go to the previous tab. Actual Results: Each click on the link opens a new tab Other comments: Clicking the link from within the second tab (i.e. the tab has a name) reuses the existing tab and does not spawn new tabs. If window.open() is set to open new windows (the pref set to non-3) the new window is always reused. Someone else on IRC on Linux also reproduced with "a fairly recent nightly". Sorry, had trouble finding a dupe (but assumed this must be one)
