Avast ye scurvy Firefox 0.9 (external linking problem)
Flashback to Thunderbird 0.6 and Firefox 0.8 - clicking a link in tbird would use an existing firefox window (if available) to show the page.
Alas, with 0.9 no such ventures - a new window every time.
What setting must I change, and where does the setting live?
Cheers,
Kez.

i don't use mozilla but found this in aforum which may help??
The work around I have found is to turn on the open link from clipboard in new tab and just copy each link to the clipboard.
The thing is I shouldn't have to do that - nor did I have to on version 0.8.
Thanks for looking though

have you tried search the support forums @ http://www.mozilla.org/support/ should have something there?
I will do later I think - just thought I'd post in home territory in case anybody had come across the same problem.
Cheers,
Kez.

This probably aint helpful but you could just stick with 0.8
Sounds like 0.9 has a few niggles which is annoying.
I'd rather not, because it has a feature I want in it - warning when closing a window containing multiple tabs.Originally Posted by turkster

If I have to, however, I will switch back - all I have to do is rename two directories...

Thats useful. I've accidentally closed stuff in tabs before to my great annoyance. Still dont think I could be bother downloading it on 56k at the mo
Found the solution chap
In the url bar enter: about:config
Find browser.block.target_new_window and enter the value as true
That should force it to reuse the same window
Edit: don't put the underscore in.. it's not there in the message source, the forums are adding it for some reason?
(\__/)
(='.'=)
(")_(")
stick it in a code block, the forums dont play with it so much if you do that =)
I was hoping somebody would tell me that - I was trying about trawling through that page
Thanks very much, I'll see if it works.

Alas, that didn't work
Maybe it's a setting in Thunderbird and not Firefox? Time to hit the mozilla site I think - but I have no idea quite what to use as a search string.

Do you use TBE extension in Firefox? There's a setting related to opening new tabs there. Anyway, http://texturizer.net/firefox/tips.html#beh_reuse should help - just set the boolean to the opposite of their suggested setting.
Probably easier than the above is you could try typinginto your location bar, looking for the advanced.system.supportDDEExec setting and setting that to true. If it doesn't exist in the about:config settings then you'll have to do a user.js. HTH, I use new tabs for all links myself.Code:about:config
GRRRR, that should be aboutCOLONconfig, no underscore. I've even put it in a code block as well, bloody forums
Not sure about that one Stoo, it killed my firefox, brings up a watson type thing to send off the details of the error then firefox closes. Gonna do a reinstall

Just FYI it doesn't open tab, it opens a whole new window. Thunderbird seems to have no appreciation of any currently running Firefox Sessions.
