    Firefox 1.5 "Force links that open new windows..."

    Has anyone else found that the "Force links that open new windows..." option in Firefox no longer works in 1.5?

    If enabled in 1.0.7 this worked fine and new links could be opened in a new tab. However, in 1.5 i find that all links that want to open new windows indeed open in a new window, regardless of the setting.

    Yop, works for me too.

    How did you install Firefox 1.5? Which distro? Did you compile it yourself?

    Via the official SuSE 9.2 RPM.

    Have you try running this one. I mean, without install, just running the "firefox" file?
