What's the magic of those links that will open a new browser like in firefox?

<a ... target="_blank">...</a>

This kind of link only opens a new tab,but some websites will open a new browser instance,what's the trick?

If both links are the same in all these websites, so there is a javascript window.open get called in the links which open new browser.

It is based on the browser settings, that why I said that if all links looks the same and some act different than other so there is some javascript work.

By the way,

If you set the target attribute to "_blank", the link will open in a new browser window or a new tab.

Based on the browser settings

In Firefox, opening a link in a new tab or window is controlled by the browser's setting. There are ways to manipulate it such as:

window.open("", "test", "height=300,width=300,modal=yes,alwaysRaised=yes")
