Tab opening in Firefox issue

Unread post by stroby » Sun Sep 07, 2008 1:02 am

When you have opened the wiki from "misc" dropdown it opens in a new tab as expected but then when the fourm link link is pressed it opens in the wiki tab rather than a new one I think this only happenes when opening the wiki or fourms with the other open in another tab

Tested with only two tabs in FF3
Started with one tab
Pressed wiki from PtM - Opened in new tab
Pressed Forums from PtM - Opened in same tab as wiki

I just tested this and got the same thing...opened forums from PtM, then opened up the wiki...works both ways, but opens in same tab :(

I've noticed that recently, too. It seems that the first link that opens in a new tab opens a new tab, but subsequent links will re-use the existing tab. It's almost certainly a VERY simple fix. I'll look at it today.

A very easy fix indeed and done in dev. I'll upload it to prod later today.
