done more testing, only append with "Tabbrowser Preferences" installed
(https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php?id=158&application=firefox)

(running version 1.2.7.1 of "Tabbrowser Preferences" which is the lastest version)

extension issue -> INVALID

Comment 4

[François Gagné]

Reopened because I wasn't clear enough, the behaviour is correct with firefox
1.0.6 (it only open a tab). This is the reason I thing it's more a Firefox bug
than a "Tabbrowser Preferences" bug.

If it's caused by an extension, the bug report belongs with the extension
author, not here. We recently changed how that link opens, and apparently TBP
hasn't caught up.
