Flash should open window in new tab, but instead it opens a new pop up on mac

Question

using target="_blank" in the navigateToUrl

with firefox on windows it opens in new tab, with firefox on mac it opens a 'popup',

anyway how to make the window popup in a new tab on ff on mac as well?

Answer 1

This is most likely a bug in the browser and/or plug-in. My suggestion would be to try telling JavaScript to open the window, using ExternalInterface. This may be more likely to trigger a pop-up blocker though.

Answer 2

Check your Firefox preferences >> Tabs >> New windows should be opened in (a new window | a new tab). Do you have different settings for your Firefox on your Windows and on your Mac?

Answer 3

That is a browser preference, not an actionscript property.
