State: open

Clicking on the Add Image or Insert Media button when using TinyMCE opens a new window. Clicking the browse button opens yet another window. These windows appear as separate full screen tabs on tablet browsers and browsers in full-screen mode (as promoted by OS X Lion). These browsing methods are most likely going to become more and more common. The user experience would be much better with modal windows instead of new tabs popping open.

I found that there is a TinyMCE option "dialog_type" that defaults to "window" but can be set to "modal". I can't tell if this applies to the media browser. If so it would be nice to have this option.
