What's the magic of those links that will open a new browser like in firefox?

Question

<a ... target="_blank">...</a>

This kind of link only opens a new tab,but some websites will open a new browser instance,what's the trick?

Answer 1

In Firefox, opening a link in a new tab or window is controlled by the browser's setting. There are ways to manipulate it such as:

window.open("", "test", "height=300,width=300,modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes")
