Add this to your "userContent.css" file.

Code: Select all

a[href][target]:not([target="_self"]) {cursor: ne-resize !important;}


yeah, that's a vague workaround, but it then doesn't show the page as intended by the content provider. And I still have to remember to press the CMD key. It's not a solution, and this issue is the one thing that's preventing me from switching to camino.

Incidentally, I've got Camino 1.0.3, and CamiTools 4.6, but CamiTools appears not to be showing as a pref pane (and no, there is no overflow)

Well, yes, but despite its difficulty, we managed to get it working in 1.1. Download the alpha and try it for yourself.

Ah, what you want is often called "single window mode", aka the "Links that would open new windows" pref in Tabs in 1.1a1.

Hmm... I can find the 1.0.3 stable release, and the nightly snapshot, but having difficulty finding the 1.1 alpha...
