Thanks for the reply Boris
Can i clarify if the link points to a gecko file and what the top directory in the source code is for gecko ?
What i have developed is a mozilla browser which has dynamic content coming from an external database when the mozilla user logs in through
a xul interface.
However when a link is followed that opens into a new browser the user
is logged out of this new browser and sees no dynamic content.
Can you offer any further insights and suggest in broad terms what needs to be done to get a system like this working.
Thanks Paul

You mean like a link with target="_blank" or something?
What i would like to know are what channels there are currently for passing information from the parent to the child browser eg the uri of the link is passed somehow etc..
If we're talking about targeted loads as above, see http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/docshell/base/nsDocShell.cpp#1073 for the creation of the window and passing in of some state. This method ends up returning an nsIDocShell pointer to whatever docshell should end up with the load.
Can we pass information to maintain state so that regardless of what were looking at here browser, application with browser etc when we follow the link
we replicate what we have again but with the new content in the browser area ??
There aren't any really useful apis for this, no....
Setting followup to what looks like the right place for this.
