After upgrading to the new firefox-1.0 I am missing the feature in Preferences > Advanced > Tabbed Browsing to open _all_ links that normally would open a new window via JavaScript or _blank target could be opened in a new tab instead of a new window. It was the most exciting new feature I liked in 1.0-rc2. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =mozilla-firefox-1.0 2. 3.

Install the tabbrowser extensions plugin as a workaround please. How do you think should we resolve this bug?
I thought that the Firefox Developers would not disable features when going from RC2 to Final. So I thought it is caused by the compilation and therefore by for example a missing configure parameter ...
Sry, but there is no "Tabbrowser" extension for Firefox. At least I did not find one.
you can find it easily: http://www.google.com/search?q=tabbrowser+extensions Click the first link and there download.
I encountered an interesting point: when I use the old config directory of 1.0rc2 (I backuped and deleted it to get a clean, new config directory) which had this feature enabled and use it with 1.0 it still works! So when it exists and when it works why can't I enable it?
Sorry, I don't know why they removed the feature in 1.0. You might be able to still get it in about:config Either way it's not a Gentoo bug... you'd have to go upstream to get your question answered.
