Hi,
How can I configure Firefox so that it will open a link in a new tab instead of a new window? I already have this option selected in the Firefox preferences --> Advanced --> Tabbed browsing -->
"Open links from other applications in:"
...
"a new tab in the most recent window.",
but when I click on a link in Thunderbird, it always opens a new Firefox window. Is there anywhere else I should change?
There's a bug opened against this. See bug 138789 [ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=138789 ]
In the meantime, you can edit /usr/bin/firefox (please, backup the original file first), look for the line that has the call to openurl()
... openurl($URL, new-window) ...
and take off the 2nd argument, so it is called only with the URL:
... openurl($URL) ...
(I don't have access to a Fedora box right now, so I can't give you the exact line. I believe there's detailed information in the bug itself)
Hope that helps.
