mozilla/browserid — Issue #380: Identity Team and Mozilla Labs links should open new tabs or windows

State: open

From Diresworb.org:

Link: http://identity.mozilla.com/
Link: http://mozillalabs.com/

As designed, these links are interrupting the current UI flow by overwriting the current Diresworb.org page with their own pages in the browser. The user is forced to use the browser Back button to reenter Diresworb.org.

This could be especially disruptive if the user is actually logged in and doing account management stuff.

Since these are actually external sites with unique content, the links should either open in a new tab or a new browser window/page.

I have not tried these on mobile devices, but the result should be the same - open new tabs or pages.
