Same results. It opens a new tab in a already running instance. For |
| 91 |
something that can be disabled, it would seem they would document how to |
| 92 |
do so or at least link to it. I've read the online documentation for |
| 93 |
Dolphin and can't find any mention of this or how to disable it. Either |
| 94 |
it isn't there or I missed it somehow, well hidden maybe. ;-) |

Open for ideas tho. |
