Details

Currently, goAbout() opens all tabs in the background, but when people click on a menuitem to open something, they really want to see it in the front, not in the background. We should ignore the "load in backound" pref for such loads. Unfortunately, openUILinkIn() doesn't have an option for that, so we probably first need to put that there. I guess the addons manager has a similar problem, though it doesn't use goAbout() - though I think the "switch to tab if it's already open" stuff should apply to all about: pages, that one also needs to open specific sub-views. In any case, the core of having openUILinkIn() having an option to ignore the background pref is needed there as well.
