One of most advertized Firefox features is tabbed browsing. Why then FF opens this annoying new window when you click on Get More Extensions in the Extensions panel, Get More Themes in Themes panel etc?
It should open in current tab (if no URL is opened in it) or new tab (if current tab has some URL loaded, apart from about:blank).





you can change that behaviour under tools > options > tabbed browsing. there is somewhere a checkbox named “open new links always in new tab” or something like that.
This setting won’t fix this behavior… Firefox shouldn’t do this.
I have also noticed that bit, and i have it so that it opens “silently”.
Now the real problem is when I creat a link in a blog post and add the target as _blank or _new. The left-click then opens a new window BUT not silently, it focuses on the new tab. How does it not handle simple html tags, really overlooked!
