Tabbed Browsing not opening links in new tab
I installed the recent tabbed browsing extension and have it set to open tabs for unrequested windows opened by links. I took that to mean a link I click on in my stand-alone email client. I get a new window/browser instance instead. I don't want new windows, I prefer tabbed browsing only. Have I not set something right?

"Orginal" means the latest version.
What did you do to get it to work properly? I followed the link, installed the newest/latest version. I checked "Single Window mode" and no new windows are opened, but links from my email are opened in the existing tab instead of new ones. I unchecked "Single Window mode" and it still does that. I have been playing around with the tabbed browsing options, but no joy sofar. I have the nightly build from Nov 28th. Which one are you using?

I'm using the nightly from 28.11.
Try this tweak (taken from 'Phoenix Help'; http://texturizer.net/phoenix/tips.html#beh_reuse)
Stop reusing active windows
If another program wants to display a web page in the default browser, Phoenix will reuse an existing window by default, which means that it will navigate from a page you might be reading. To stop this, add the following code to your user.js file:
* // Stop reusing active windows:
user_pref("advanced.system.supportDDEExec", false);

I think you are supposed to put user-specific customisations in user.js; prefs.js is auto generated ... as the first/second line in the file warns you.
Cheers ...

But it won't be backed up automaticly, right? When i must copy this file manually, wheres the difference to back up prefs.js?
prefs.js is generated by Phoenix and should not be directly modified. That's why it says it at the top. Besides, any changes made by the developers could cause a problem.

I searched my drive and I cannot find a user.js file anywhere. Where is it suppose to be under Win98SE? pres.js is easy to find.

From Phoenix Help:
user.js
This is the main preferences file for Phoenix and is located in your profiles folder. The file does not exist by default, so you need to create it before you can start adding your preferences.
Windows users: If you know how to create a file, just skip this section. Before you can create the file, you must make sure that you can see the file type extensions in Windows. Start Explorer (just click on the My Computer icon on your desktop) and select File > Tools > Folder Options.... Click the View tab and uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types option. Now, go to your profile folder and select File > New > Text Document. The default name New Text Document.txt should be displayed. Change the name to user.js (click Yes on the file type warning that appears).

Go figure, I read the help for all sorts of things, but I never looked for that. Thanks!
