I feel this is a bug (I want to try have some order of my windows), but perhaps it's an "feature", I don't know, but I report is as an bug. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages iceweasel depends on: ii debianutils 2.28.4 Miscellaneous utilities specific t ii fontconfig 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-1 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.3.0-3 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.3-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.9-3 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libjpeg62 6b-14 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.2-2 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libstdc++6 4.3.0-3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxrender1 1:0.9.4-1 X Rendering Extension client libra ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii procps 1:3.2.7-8 /proc file system utilities ii psmisc 22.6-1 Utilities that use the proc filesy ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime iceweasel recommends no packages. -- no debconf information Reproducible: Always

Same thing here under KDE, FWIW.

Still a problem in FF 3.0rc2. UA: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008062113 Iceweasel/3.0 (Debian-3.0~rc2-2)

about:config to set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true If that behavior is not what you want then this is a dupe of bug 263553.

(In reply to comment #3) > about:config to set browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground to true I want it to be false, i.e. the new tab should become the current tab. > If that behavior is not what you want then this is a dupe of bug 263553. Probably. BTW, shouldn't it block the tracking bug 88810?

Possibly, though I don't really like long lived tracking bugs. They have a tendency to go off topic or get out of scope.
