Hi all,

I have a Toolbarbutton

<toolbarbutton context="TabMenue" id="esbTb_rss_reader" label="News" type="menu">

with a Context menue which comes up when the button is right clickt

<menupopup id="TabMenue" >
    <menuitem label="New Tab" oncommand="esbTb_loadURLNewTab()"/>
</menupopup>

so this function should open the new window in a new tab

function esbTb_loadURLNewTab() {
    window.open(ClickUrl,'name'); }

I don't get it working that the new Window is showing up in a new tab it always opens a new firefox window.

I tried also like described in this article to set the browser.link.open_newwindow and browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction preferences but that doesn't bringt anything. And I tried it with all Target attributes which came in my mind.

So I'm grateful for any hints, tips what ever this is driving me crazy...
