User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030411 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030411 This enhancement would allow the user to see if the link is to be opened in new or current window. Example: I browse through google search results. When the mouse pointer is over the link the statusbar should display: Go to http://www.xyz.com. When I press the cmd key it means that I want to open the link in new tab (or window, depends on the pref), so the text in statusbar should change to: Open http://www.xyz.com in new tab. When let's say I browse some other pages where links open in new windows, Mozilla should, when the mouse pointer is over the link, display a text in statusbar: Open http://www.abc.com in new window. And as in previous example when I press cmd, the text should change into ...in new tab. Moreover, pressing for example shift with a new-window-opening link should force mozilla not to open it in new window, but in current one. And so on. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Please, see Safari on MacOS X where this feature is very well implemented.
