Welcome to IWETHEY!

New How to open in new windows, block target-generated windows
The reason I used targets was because *I* find it 'annoying as hell' to have to a) right click then select 'open new window'...
Middle click (or chorded left & right buttons on my laptop). Opens new tab/window in Galeon, with appropriate preferences setting.

OTOH, I just ran across [link|http://www.mozilla.org/unix/customizing.html|this preferences setting option]:
// Override popping up new windows on target=anything.
// This is now accessible in the prefs dialog, under Advanced|Scripts&Windows.
user_pref("browser.block.target_new_window", true);


I'll give that a shot and see how it works.

(One browser restart later) OK, that works, confirmed it with your links, imric.

So here's the deal: the browser determines behavior. The user can override presentation. And with this setting, no more new windows from target tags.

...and sorry for rubbing you wrong, but now you don't matter ;-)

Oh, and nice links, BTW.

New *smile* OK, then, no problems anymore? Ben, anyone?
Heh - I'm glad I don't matter... :)

New I can't use Karsten's solution
At least not with my current email address because they have pop-ups in several places (launch a pop-up, then navigate the local frame - gets past the Mozilla logic). With Karsten's suggestion I would not be able to read my email. :-(

But if I am the only person affected, I can live with a little minor irritation. (Hey, I still have to work with Microsoft products...)

Cheers,
Ben

New Hmmm.
But you were the one to originally request me not to!

I'll think of something.
