Re: Disable Open On New Tabs Feature

[rasika perera <info rasika gmail com>]

Hi Michael,

Thank you very much for the prompt response. FYI, recently I installed midori webbrowser they are offering many features that Raspberry Pi developers may needed.

For fullscreen you can issue;

==================

midori -e Fullscreen http://www.foo.bar

For the same tab;

===========

You can go into midori->preferences and choose open in same tab. In that sense it opens only one tab and same tab is refreshed with the new url. 

If possible I would like to suggest to implement similar features like in midori webbrowser. I hope these features and extensions may need to incorporate with epiphany in order to extend support for the browser based s/w developers.

Regards,

Hi,

There is currently no way to get the behavior you want from the
command line, sorry. You can open a URL in a new window or in a new
tab, but not in an existing tab.

I'd be surprised if that's possible with most browsers, TBH. How would
the browser know which window and tab to replace?
