When starting firefox i used to get a new window for every launch but now it just owerwrites the last window If this is intended. How do i force it to open a new window ? It is especially frustrating when i use multiple desktops and start firefox and nothing seems to happen because it opened in my previus window on another screen version is 1.30 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.firefox www.gentoo.org 2.firefox forums.gentoo.org 3. Actual Results: I get forums.gentoo.org instead of www.gentoo.org in my browser Expected Results: Opened a new window so i would have both pages up
Mats, the default for mozilla-launcher was changed so that browser prefs can take priority. You can chance the default in firefox in Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Tabbed Browsing->Open links from other applications in: Alternatively, if you want to restore the old behavior where mozilla-launcher forces one or the other, set MOZILLA_NEWTYPE=window in your environment.
Then I suppose the bug lies in firefox then. Because I already have open i new window marked in Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Tabbed Browsing->Open links from other applications in: And unfortunately MOZILLA_NEWTYPE=window did not help.
Mats, please try mozilla-launcher-1.32 which I've just marked stable in portage. It contains a fix related to this which I'd forgotten about.
Thanks for the new version Aron Now MOZILLA_NEWTYPE=window works as it should But mozilla still ignores what I set in Edit->Preferences->Advanced->Tabbed Browsing->Open links from other applications in: Now that MOZILLA_NEWTYPE=window works I can manage. So I can think of this as resolved. But let me know if I can help you test the preferences way. Mats
