I speak from ignorance of FF3, being quite happy with FF2, but I wonder if it is the setting shown in the Tab Mix Plus add-on as Links | Open links from other applications in: | [New Window][New Tab][Current Tab] That will put something into about:config but I haven't been exploring, so can't say what. Thanks! North of Watford though its a very dynamic add-on sadly it didn't allow me to open an external link, I even tried upgrading to 3.6 from 3.5.11 to use another add-on called "Restore Open_External" and that failed :-( I have copies of the registry to compare the FF2 and FF3 installs and there's nothing there that would suggest anything either so now I am going to compare the .ini and .js files from each install i.e. the pref.js as seen in about:config to see what gives... lastly I will try the latest FF beta to see if that will help.

I'm running Win98se and after I installed unicows and kernelEx 4.5 RC 1 I was able to successfully install Flash 10, Shockwave 11 and any version of Firefox 3.xx or 4.0 beta though I prefer 3.5.11 since I have no problems using java 1.5.0_22 however my problem is I am not able to open up more then 1 desktop internet shortcut at a time as with the pre 3.xx versions unless I either drag & drop it onto the desktop Firefox link or send it to the main executable which is basically the same :-) I'm currently using a registry hack so that I can simulate this via my right click/context menu but I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this and if they have come up with a fix? I have tried almost everything to get back this feature like reinstalling or changing the Tabs options, going into safe mode and or uninstalling a handful of extensions to no avail. Basically I would like to be able to open (as with 2.xx) without restriction as many desktop URL shortcuts through just double clicking them into their own windows.
