If you use the twitter site from Firefox OS browser, links will just open in a new tab as you expect. What they where using is the twitter app. In this situation, external links are openened as _target=blank and we redirect these page loads to the browser app.
- kijin 14y agoI understand that you can't control all the third-party apps. Still, I am a little disappointed that there remains such a strong distinction between the "browser app" and other apps when the entire OS is essentially a very powerful browser.
- fabrice_d 14y agoHm.. I see what you mean. The nice thing is that anyone can experiment and build a different system app that would be more like a browser with apps in tabs if you want. Getting all the UX right and please everybody is hard ;)
- rhelmer 14y agoI disagree - apps run in their own process, and can have separate privileges from the browser process. Web applications on Firefox OS are not the same as tabs in a desktop browser. Twitter might not be the best example, admittedly :)
