As I mentioned above (Date: February 08, 2009 01:22AM)
I tried IETab before and it didn't work.

I tried it again, just now, because you mentioned in
the thread that the macro was a bit outdated. So I
downloaded the new macro and replaced the older one.
Once again... it didn't work.

After I did the install of IETab and configured it
to allow this IE specific website... I created a blank
html with nothing on it except a link to that website.
I then opened it and right-clicked the link and selected
"Send to Trident renderer". It did open the website in
what appeared to be an IE tab (w/ IE logo on the tab).

After logging into the website... I right-clicked any link
to try and open it in a new tab but there is no context
menu option to open it in a new tab (only to open it in
a new window). Selecting to open it in a new window caused
an IETab error dialog to popup saying an error had occurred
and that I should restart K-Meleon.
Another thing I noticed was there was no history for the
IE tab being generated (the Back button remained disabled
the whole time I was navigating the site).

I un-installed the IEtab again.
I've given up on trying to use K-Meleon on this "one" website.
I'll just use Internet Explorer for it since... it's (so far)
the "only" website, that I know of, that is so radically IE
specific.

Yogi:
I would have to agree 100%, in regards to the browser having
to deal with all the security issues that each engine has
to deal with. It would be insane for a developer to try and
make a browser with such capabilities.

desga2:
Next time I visit that IE specific website I'll see what
the source code looks like for their links. I'm inclined
to think they're not opened with a script but I'm not 100%
sure. All I (currently) know is that I can right-click a
link with IE and open the link in a new tab. But doing
the same thing in both Firefox and K-Meleon "does open"
a new tab "but" the contents is redirected to a webpage
stating... multiple sessions are not allowed.

Which is why I'm wondering if it's a cookie problem.
How else could the website know that I opened a link
in a new tab?

I'll have to do some testing to see if opening a new tab in
IE for a link within the website alters the website's cookie.
And then run the same test in both Firefox and K-Meleon.

Maybe IE does not alter the cookie and Firefox/K-Meleon do?
Or maybe opening a new tab for a link within a website
does not generate a new cookie using IE but a new cookie
is generated using Firefox/K-Meleon?

Or is running these kinds of test a waste of my time?
