345713 - "Get More Extensions" link ignores option "new tabs in the most recent window"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 262575

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Pradeep Kumar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060526 BonEcho/2.0a3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060526 BonEcho/2.0a3

Even when the option "new tabs in the most recent window" is set to true, the link in the bottom right of the Add-ons dialog "Get more Extensions" opens a new window when clicked.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to Tools->Options->Tabs.
2. Ensure "new tabs in the most recent window" is checked.
3. Make sure you have only one firefox window opened.
3. Go to Tools->Add-ons.
4. Click on the "Get more Extensions" links in bottom right corner of the addon dialog.

Actual Results:  
Spawns the a new firefox window for loading the addon site.

Expected Results:  
Should obey the option setting and should have opened the addon site in a new tab in the recent window.

I think this worked fine in FF 1.0. Though I cannot confirm it now.
