Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[db]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

Bookmarks that are set to open in the sidebar opens in the sidebar in all new
windows. THat is a little wasteful with screen estate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set a bookmark to open in the sidebar
2. Load the bookmark from (1) [and see how it loads in the sidebar]
3. Create a new window and it will open with the sidebar open and the bookmark
fropm (1) loaded

Actual Results:  
I had two windows with the sidebar open and the same page in the sidebar

Expected Results:  
The second window must not open with the sidebar visible. At least it must not
load the same page again.

This is definitely not a dupe of bug 243602.

=> REOPEN

This is by design. If users are working with opened sidebars they also would like to have them opened in a new window. Users who dislike this behavior have to close it before opening a new window.

For my intention this is WONTFIX.
