Good catch -- this is a regression from previous releases, most
links should be opening in new windows.  Fix committed:

http://git.maemo.org/git/browser-switch/?p=browser-switch;a=commi
tdiff;h=330acaf7ac4d9dc5d536ef4ff70e0553b8f9e12a

and will be in the next release.

(Strictly, applications have the option of requesting that the
link open in an existing browser window.  We used to always let
MicroB handle the distinction when it mattered, but that's not
true in the current release -- hence the regression.  I'll file
a separate bug for the same-window behavior, but I'm unconvinced
that emulating it is desirable in the first place.)
