From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221 BuildID: 2001122106 The following entry comes from the web server logs for the http://www.beau.lib.la.us/ website. dialup15.beau.lib.la.us - - [18/Jan/2002:00:39:04 -0600] "GET /images/LNGVIL5.JPG HTTP/1.0" 200 180563 "http://www.beau.lib.la.us/museum3.html" "Mozilla/4.6 [en] (Win95; I)" Note the referrer site field shown, which was sent when I right-clicked and selected "Open In New Window" Now, doing the same operation (except it was "Open In New Tab" in Mozilla 0.9.7 resulted in: dialup15.beau.lib.la.us - - [18/Jan/2002:00:22:46 -0600] "GET /images/LNGVIL5.JPG HTTP/1.1" 200 180563 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:0.9.7) Gecko/20011221" Which, as you may note, does *not* have the referrer field filled in. Personally, *I* would count this as a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Go to http://www.beau.lib.la.us/museum3.html 2.Select image of choice, right-click and select "Open In New Window" Actual Results: On this particular website, the image opens fine. However, the weblog reveals that the referrer field is not being sent, and on many webpages, this results in incorrect action, since sites use it to attempt to control deep linking, in a proper manner. Expected Results: Mozilla should have sent the referrer field.

-> docshell (not sure how "load in new tab" works)
