Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1

Setting the preference to open links in a new tab in the most recent window does not work. Links continue to open in a new window. This bug only affects the Mac version. I've tested the Windows XP version, and links open in new tabs as expected.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on any link that normally opens a new window (such as links with target="_blank" attribute)

Actual Results:  
A new window opens and the page loads. 

Expected Results:  
A new tab opens in the most recent window and the page loads.

This bug is reproducible with ANY link that would normally open a new window. It happens ONLY in the Mac version of Firefox; the Windows version works correctly.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

-> Closing as incomplete because of missing feedback if this is still reproducible in the latest release (Firefox 2.0.0.4) or Trunk Build.
