Tabbed browsing

Hi habarixenu,

I really enjoy Habari Xenu. It's my Firefox start page & Firefox is my default browser. I usually connect to the net on a dial-up; &, it's more convenient for me than the Firefox live links.

I also use live links for some things. I really like the briefs, which live links lack.

I updated to Firefox 1.0; then, I noticed Habari Xenu's tabbed browsing no longer worked for, at least, Yahoo news sites & BBC. Everything opened in new windows on left click; but, I wanted everything to open in a new tab. I found your 0.9.1 & updated from 9.0.

I've used the settings wizard; but, to no avail. I used to click any link in Habari Xenu & it would pop open in a new tab. I like that.

Now, on left click, some links open in the reader window, forcing me to use my back button to get back to the list of articles. Other links, like your [Announce] Habari Xenu 0.9.1 released, open in new windows.

I don't like either of those behaviors but can't seem to get it to open the links in new tabs. I really don't like that I can't predict which behavior will occur. Perhaps I'm missing a step?

Please advise. I'm right-clicking & selecting Open Link in New Tab for now.

Thank you for a VERY useful product!

I think I figured it out. The tabbrowser preferences extension I used isn't compatible with the new Firefox.

There was a problem with v0.9.1 where I was opening links with target set to _new. Mozilla recogonises this but Firefox does not (because _new is not really standards compliant. I have fixed this problem now. Grab v 0.9.3 from http://habarixenu.mozdev.org/installation.html. Import/export of OPML is fixed and you can now subscribe to feed links by right clicking on them.

Thank you for your very valuable feedback. I appreciate it as it makes HX better and better.
