sorry, i've got that alittle backwards... it has been afew weeks. Ubuntu/Debian's change changes the option in about:config "browser.link.open_newwindow" to 2. Without updating wherever the gui is pulling its data from... so what happens is the core is set to 2 (2 is open in window) while the gui is saying it is set to open in a new tab (which is value 3) this is all by default. Sure the user can fix this easily by clicking on the radio button for open in tab (which is 3) and it will fix in it the gui & core, but that's not the point. the point is that it is retarded by default.
Hopefully my experiment with removing the Ubuntu/Debian change will result in the correct behavior. (gui & core set to 3 by default). If Ubuntu/Debian wish to change the default behavior to open in a new window... then it's not acceptable to just change it at the core as this will upset new users who want it to be @ tab and look at the gui and see it set to tab so they think it will be fine and then get burnt. Tho, why on earth the gui pulls this setting from elsewhere other than where about:config gets its info i have no idea... that's probably the reason this is retarded in the first place. -- Firefox doesn't display new windows in new tabs despite option being set https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/75758 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
