Since in the release notes of Firefox 2.0 I read: "Improved tabbed browsing: By default, Firefox will open links in new tabs instead of new windows" I think that this is a major bug, and should be fixed before final release. Thanks. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load http://www.ggmania.com/?smsid=22541 2. left click on a screenshot 3. a new window is opened instead of a new tab
That page is using window.open() to open the screenshots (note that it's a smaller-sized window). That preference only diverts windows with target="_blank" into new tabs. You would will need to set browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction to 0 for that window to open in a new tab.
