I have no problem opening the link in a new tab however. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log on to gmail 2. Open any email with a link 3. Click link Actual Results: Page does not load. Expected Results: A new page should load.
Your UA indicates that you are using a third-party build, which is not supported. Does this happen with an official build? Links in Gmail messages should automatically open in a new tab/link. Have you set the hidden SWM pref to force all loads to re-use the same tab?
(In reply to comment #1) > Links in Gmail messages should automatically open in a new tab/link. Have you > set the hidden SWM pref to force all loads to re-use the same tab? I can repro the filed behaviour with this pref set in a trunk build, though I haven't tried 1.5.x yet.
AFAIK that's expected with browser.link.open_newwindow=1; that's why it's not a real pref, and our hidden pref docs explicitly call out that it will break sites.
At least on trunk, it 'used to work' with that pref set. By 'used to work' I mean: the page would fully load in the same tab. It is possible that Gmail changed something in the way they handle URI internally, causing the described behaviour.
Trying this in Minefield with Firebug, I see the same issue (of course), and it flags an error: C is not defined zba[a]))}else{return this.Ci[Ee]==a}};Qj[_P].stopPropagation=function $Qj$_P$sto... I didn't get more out of it, unfortunately. (Firebug and Gmail don't get along so well it seems, as far as debugging is concerned.)
Yeah it was the single window mode option that seems to break their links. That happens with the official build as well. As soon as I removed the option it unbroke. Thanks.
I'm going to close this as INVALID then, since my understanding is that it's expected that sites that attempt to do complex window manipulation may not work with that setting.

It used to work on branch, too, until Google changed something recently, but as Stuart says the "reuse window" setting isn't fully supported by Gecko and may break stuff.
(In reply to comment #8) > It used to work on branch, too, until Google changed something recently Which was rolling out the "Newer Version"; it still works fine in the "Older Version". Last bugspam from me on this, I promise ;)
