I don't know if this is a user problem, TB problem or FF problem or FC3. I think I have the FF prefs right and no matter what I do when I click a link in TB I get a new window in FF when I really want a new tab. Does this actually work for anyone? It worked as expected in mozilla and mailnew in FC2 but not with FF/TB in 64bit FC3. This is with
FF: 1.0
TB: 20041216


Was using TB .9 with same results.

Hi Gene,

I just had the same problem recently. It is a well known bug in Firefox, that makes it override your user prefs (although I don't have the bugzilla number now). To solve it is actually pretty simple: edit the file /usr/bin/firefox to remove the "new-window" parameter in line 224, and it should work:
This is how it looks like in my case
------------
# Old line 224:
# exec $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM_PARAM "openurl($opt,new-window)" 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
# new one:
exec $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM $MOZ_CLIENT_PROGRAM_PARAM "openurl($opt)" 2>/dev/null >/dev/null
------------


Hope that helps.
