Zotero app tab gets duplicated when opening new window
Each time I open a new Firefox window, the Zotero app tab gets duplicated. This does not happen to any other of my app tabs, so I am sure it is not the intended behaviour. It is also very confusing to have several independent Zotero tabs open and has led me to put papers into wrong collections because different collections can be selected in the different Zotero app tabs. That is fine behaviour if I _choose_ to have several Zotero tabs, but not if they are opened automatically.
This discussion has been closed.
1) the problem only happens to me or
2) I have not described the problem sufficiently clearly or
3) this bug has already been discussed to death somewhere else or
3) this is not the correct forum for bug reports.
Any comments?
Suggested behavior: if zotero is already running as an app-tab, new firefox windows will NOT have zotero app-tab. If a user wants to have two (or more) firefox windows open that both show zotero, there should be a way to just type into the address bar of the second window to get zotero to appear there (presumably by typing chrome://zotero/content/tab.xul or loading same from a bookmark). This request would seem to require what the other forum thread (linked above) was asking for, namely a "tab but not app-tab" option for zotero in addition to the app-tab and browser-pane choices currently offered.
If this behavior is a feature to some and a problem to some maybe it can be dealt with by having a Preferences option.
