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