What you are asking is not the funtion of SeaMonkey, but your system settings. I do no have Fedora, but on Ubuntu 10.04 I have a system setting: System|Preferences|Preferred Applications|Browser and I have 3 choices for SeaMonkey (my preferred browser): o Open link with web browser default [seamonkey %s] o Open link in a new window [seamonkey -new-window "%s"] o Open link in new tab [seamonkey -new-tab "%s"] If I set (in SM) 'Edit|Pref...|Browser|Tabbed...|Links from other applications|The current tab/window' and select option 1 above (Open link with web browser default), and select a url from within Thunderbird 3.1, the url is opened in the same window/tab that I had previously opened. So I reckon that I'd mark your bug as invalid/'works for me' as SeaMonkey (2.0.5 and 2.0.6) are working properly. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
