N7: Call to open new tab vs. new browser

Hello Ramona,

I've finally configured my mail client (Eudora) and Windows to open a new N7 browser everytime I click on an embeded link.

Ideally, I'd like to exploit the tab function and have Eudora open a new tab each time instead of opening a new browser.

Is there a command line variable or prefs.js entry I can make to bring this about?

System info:
- Win2KPro
- Eudora 5.1.1
- Netscape 7.0

Thanks!
sb

 

Welcome to the Forum, Berlinerami!

Hi Berlinerami,

Is this what you want to happen:

Can I open Mail/News in a tab in the browser?

Enter chrome://messenger/contents/messenger.xul in the address bar of a tab. You can bookmark this tab, including as part of a group bookmark.

Note: This is unsupported. Odd things may happen, e.g., all of Mozilla closing when you close the tab.

RE: N7: Call to open new tab vs. new browser

Hi Ramona,

Thanks for the prompt response. I'm actually looking for something a bit different.

An example: I receive numerous newsletters, each with several stories referenced by unique URLs. When I click on the first, story 1 opens in a new browser window. As I continue through the newsletter, I click additional links, each of which opens in another browser window. When I'm done reading the newsletter, I have five open browser windows that I read, one after the other.

What I'd ideally like to do is have the second, third, fourth, etc. links open tabs in the existing browser, rather than opening new browsers, as they do now.

Is this possible or only a pipedream?

Thanks
sb

 

Broni,

Thanks for the info, but that only works if you're using Netscape as your mail client. I'm currently using Eudora 5.1.1.
