In Firefox see tools -> options -> tabs -> New pages should be opened in. This bug is INVALID. Please see http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Bug_writing_guidelines before filing future bugs. Information about product support for Mozilla products is available at http://www.mozilla.com/support/

In about:config you have probably changed the value of browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction by accident.
I did not edited anything on about:config. But maybe this setting came with test versions of FF. browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction = 2 What walue should be to allow pages to be opened in new window using "window.open"?

Sorry, thought you were talking about a javascript link in a page. Should really have read it better. But you're talking about a bookmarklet. It opens in a new window here but in the background. Maybe you see the symptoms of Bug 358187?

The fact that it opens in the background is bug 232605. Is fixed on trunk now.
yes, i see syptoms of Bug 358187. But it about about wrong settings in proffile. As i understood, this is different problem: no setting do not force to open new window from bookmarklet.

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME http://www.mozilla.com http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+mode
