Regarding the User Agaent...
yes I have it set to...
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; SPINWAY.COM; .NET CLR 1.1.4322; .NET CLR 2.0.50727)

Regarding the versions...
I have the latest stable version of K-Meleon... v1.5.2
(I downloaded right here at the forum).
And I have Gecko v1.8.1.20 (aka /20081217)

With those queries out of the way...
I tried the ietabKM-1.6.7z and it still does not work
for opening a link in a new tab. And there's also still
no history being generated either. But at least this
time I didn't get any error dialogs.

I downloaded and install the IETab for Firefox and
tested it in Firefox. It works just fine except for
for one small flaw (possibly because I can't use
the latest version of the extension. reason being...
I refuse to download and install the latest version
of Firefox). The small flaw is the drop down menu for
the Back button is virtually invisible.

While I was logged into that web site... I looked at
the source code and the link are just normal links
with the target set to "_self".

There are somethings that I noticed that are different
between the K-Meleon and Firefox IETab extensions.

In Firefox... when I open the home page link for that
one website... the address bar shows the link like it
was any other normal web address.

BUT in K-Meleon... the address bar shows...
chrome://ietab/content/reloaded.html?url=
followed by the web address.

In Firefox... there's history being generated and the
Back button is enabled.

In K-Meleon... there's no history being generated and
the Back button remains disabled.

After I log into that website... I can navigate just
fine within the pages using Firefox (with the IETab
extension). I can click a link and it opens in the
same tab. Or I can right-click a link and select to
open it in a new window and it opens in a new tab
(which is what I wanted anyway). Oh yea... the address
bar show the current web address correctly.

In K-Meleon... I can click a link and it opens in the
same tab (no difference here). But if I can right-click
a link to open it in a new window... but nothing happens.
Obviously it's doing something because the SysTray modem
lights show that a web page is being sent BUT there's no
new tab (or window) for it to load into. And as to the
address bar... it NEVER changes while I navigate the site.

And last but not least... I did as you suggested and created
a new profile (so it would use the defaults) and ran the
tests all over again. It did not make a difference. It still
would not open a link in a new tab.
