New tab features shouldn't block javascript popups....

[prancer]

Not sure how bugzilla works so perhaps someone can post this for me.

The new Options-Advanced-Tabbed Browsing should have an option to allow javascript or similar windows to open normally instead of a new tab. What I mean is small windows that usually don't have toolbars, etc. They were meant to be seen as a popup windows and you should have the option to keep that feature while still blocking target="_blank"
If you use the "force links to open in new window to open in:" it creates this problem.
It would be much better to do it like the Single Window extension where u can choose to allow javascript popups to work as intended.

Here's and example though it's a flash link....

Click Tour on the top menu

They don't. And the tour link opens a new window for me, as it should. Sounds like you are using an extension...?

U sure? I just deleted firefox and my profile, reinstalled fresh to double check and it opens them in new tabs.
Have you set...
Options->Advanced->Tabbed Browsing-> Force links to open in new window to open in:-> A new tab?

Install TBP 0.9.91 and set it up to only divert unresized JavaScript popups into tabs; that should take care of your problem.

Did this change since 10-9 or something? I sure wasn't expecting it to.

[prancer]

why install an extension to do something that's built in?
anyways, i prefer the single window extension
and i got the workaround from the other thread complaining about this but it should still be addresses before RC1

i'm pretty sure my http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=143698 is the same thing, only with a chrome window instead of a java pop-up window..

then again i'm just guessing at things i'm admittedly ignorant about.

Type about:config into the location bar, find browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction, set it to 2.

Show some respect tenbucks...

For those of us who dislike using about:config, you can alternately use TBP 0.9.91. Set "Open requested JavaScript popups in:" to "Unresized Popups" and you'll be OK.

I have the same problem, and also noted it since 11 oct (aprox).

And it is fixed with browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction, set it to 2, so thanks Pike for the tip!

[TheOneKEA]

Note that the fix for bug 263844 means that some JavaScript popups which broke when forced into tabs will now work again.

not to bash Single Window Extension, but it's a pos. It wouldn't block some ad popups if you ran the popup tests. Thanks to TheOneKEA for the great extension. TBP owned!
