Firefox: Tabbed browsing options added to branch

[semifamous]

I am glad that these features are finally in the branch, but the program still cannot trap window.open popups into a new tab. Is this planned for the future?

I don't know, but I know that can be done with the Single Window Mode extension or the Tabbrowser Extensions. I can't imagine using Firefox without Single Window Mode from TBE.

Last part of this patch was checked in last nite, it adds means to control window.open links too. (Gmail links are included this time, IceDogg) ;)

Poweruser pref

user_pref("browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction", 2);

Options are

0: Allows user to let all window.open links open in new windows (default)

1: Force all window.open links into tabs

2: Force only full new browser windows into tabs and let windows with disabled statusbar/toolbar/menubar/etc. open in a new window (these are usually popups that are meant to open in a small window and look like crap when forced into a full tab).

Oops, got the options a bit wrong. 1 and 0 should swap places

I love this.....only problem though is yahoo webmail when you click on Bulk [Empty] the empty then it shoots to a new tab and doesn't give you the dialog to saying are you sure click OK/cancel. Anyway beside yahoo webmail it seems to open all links in tabs which I seem to prefer.
