Not sure if it's totally the same, but...</p> <p>You can try going into "Tools/Internet Options", then in the "Tabs" section click "settings", then you'll see "When a Pop-up is encountered" - there are three choices under this category. choose "always open pop-ups in a new tab". That should do it.

Good of you to post this up Lee. I don't understand why you didn't link the official Mozilla site for dwnlds/updates though; although the current users do get notification to update if they have it turned on in the options.</p> <p>I'm a big fan of Mozilla products, so for those new to them I've listed the official links below. Of course check out Lee's link above to MajorGeeks for more than Ff. They have a lot to offer there.</p> <p><strong>The official Mozilla links:</strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/">Mozilla Products</a> = Firefox browser and Thunderbird email client. Once there click the "Learn more" link for each respective product page that includes a download link on it.</p> <blockquote><p><strong><a href="http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/2.0.0.11/releasenotes/">What's New in Firefox 2.0.0.11</a></strong></p> <p>Release Date:<br /> November 30, 2007</p> <p>Stability Update:<br /> This release corrects a compatibility issue with some websites and extensions discovered in Firefox 2.0.0.10.</p> <p><a href="http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/known-vulnerabilities.html#firefox">Known Vulnerabilities in Mozilla Products</a></p></blockquote> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2032#post-12450 Sat, 01 Dec 2007 08:16:38 +0000 jinkazama 12450@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>can't wait for Firefox 3 to be released! :) </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2032#post-12424 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 21:46:29 +0000 Lee 12424@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>It's to fix images and some websites.</p> <p>A recent update from Firefox,(v.2.0.0.10) seems to have screwed some sites because of a bug in the Javascript implementation. </p> <p>The bug seems to have affected sites that use the Javascript method canvas.drawImage(). </p> <p>The method is popularly used to represent vector images into HTML using Javascript and hence the extent in which the bug affects websites could be pretty huge. But just to show the speed of bug fixing from the developers, a fixed build is already available at mozilla <a href="http://FTP." rel="nofollow">FTP.</a> You can download the newer build which has the fix from: </p> <p><a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-11-27-15-mozilla1.8/" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-11-27-15-mozilla1.8/</a> (Windows) and</p> <p><a href="http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-11-27-14-mozilla1.8/" rel="nofollow">http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/2007-11-27-14-mozilla1.8/</a> (Linux)</p> <p>Firefox seems to auto-update these days and asks the user to restart firefox for installing the update. Hence, I'm expecting quite a few number of users who have got the bug in firefox. Google Maps is one website that seemed to use the method as well, but I guess they have found a nice workaround the bug. </p> <p>The bug can be reproduced by going to the site: <a href="http://www.foxsaver.com/public/published." rel="nofollow">http://www.foxsaver.com/public/published.</a></p> <p>Credit to Saptarshi Purkayastha @ <a href="http://sunnytalkstech.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">http://sunnytalkstech.blogspot.com</a> </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2032#post-12423 Fri, 30 Nov 2007 21:26:34 +0000 Hadeda 12423@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>Blah seems like quite a nice upgrade...
