@Aavindraa

Shouldn't your note section example be unsafeWindow.open(url) instead of window.open(url)?

Also GM_openInTab calls the root function of tabBrowser.addTab... so if it is truly not handling the referer, this is a Mozilla "by design" feature... not a Greasemonkey shortcoming. I've already confirmed the tab focus issue. Perhaps you should submit a feature enhancement ticket to have a return value of the tab, to be able to call the .focus() method.

@Marti: I've tested, and window.open(url) works perfectly fine (with the referrer as I mentioned in the article). About GM_openInTab: I like the background feature, but the referrer has been an issue on some sites, so I'll add a ticket.--Aavindraa 15:12, 30 December 2008 (EST)
