| Jun 6, 2012 at 16:46 | comment | added | Bryan Denny♦ | @Rob I've never seen an Android browser pop a window up in an overlay, it always opens a new tab. It has to be something specific that site is doing for mobile devices. What site is this you are using? | |
| Jun 6, 2012 at 16:38 | comment | added | Rob | I use Firefox on my desktop PC's . I do have Tab Mix Plus installed which I think diverts new windows into their own tabs.<br/><br/> Is this how it /should/ be appearing on the android browser then, i.e. the default behaviour is to use this overlay? | |
| Jun 6, 2012 at 16:23 | comment | added | MrWhite | What browser do you use on the desktop/PC? Is it possible that your desktop browser is configured to always open new tabs rather than windows (although that should still open a window on the mobile browser)?! Is JavaScript disabled on the desktop?? | |
| Jun 6, 2012 at 15:05 | comment | added | Rob | @ w3d - I'm pretty sure it's not the mobile version of the site as the appearance is quite different ( I used to use that site on my old phone) . I will double check though. @Bryan Denny - I haven't tried with any other browsers other than the stock browser. The phone is really tight on storage space so I don't really have room to have an extra browser app installed to clear this annoyance. | |
| Jun 6, 2012 at 14:28 | comment | added | MrWhite | This could simply be the mobile version of the website. Try selecting the option from the Options menu... "Request desktop site". | |
| Jun 6, 2012 at 14:09 | comment | added | Bryan Denny♦ | Does it do this on any other browser? Chrome, Firefox, Dolphin, etc.? | |
