Open in a new tab by default

[jamesray1]

At the moment when I log into Metamask I would like to be able to autofill the password from LastPass. To do this I think Metamask needs to open in a new tab, rather than as a popup. Therefore I'd like to request that MetaMask opens in a new tab by default, or at least can be configured to do so.

It drives me crazy right now!!!

I need more than 10 mins to just sign a transaction.
Don't know why. don't care now.

But I can NOT click anywhere because MetaMask is a popup,
It disappears right away if I lose focus from popup.

Very very annoying

Please resolve it with:
Crtl + Left mouse click = new window
left mouse click only = popup

very eazy to implement

tnx :)

I suffer Repetitive strain injury (RSI) and can't use a mouse. I use web fully using my keyboard. But I can't do that with MetaMask as it opens in a pop up window with terrible accessibility. How to solve that? i would love the new tab option. It would work then with my Vimium chrome extension.

hey all, just want to make sure you're aware of this option in the account menu. If you click the ... you're able to open MetaMask in a new tab. Once it's open in a new tab, it will display all pending transaction or connect requests. They'll first show in the popup, but if you navigate to the tab, you'll see them there as well.

That doesn't show before logging in. I'd show a screenshot, but I can't in Firefox; when I try the popup disappears.

It's also problematic that MetaMask seems to keep forgetting my password. I copy and paste it via LastPass and it doesn't work, despite having not changed it, and it worked just yesterday. The UX is further worsened by needing to restore with a seed phrase and import my other account, every time this happens, which has been many times!

@jamesray1 haven't heard the password issue before -- email support@metamask.io and we'll do our best to help out over there.

The point about allowing an option to enable full-tab by default is totally legit, will talk it over with the design team.

@bdresser I was wondering if it's possible for dApps to trigger this setting instead of relying on users?

@sihoang, scroll up!

@jamesray1 "or at least can be configured to do so."
You're asking from the users perspective.

I'm asking from the dapp developers perspective. This config may or may not be able to set by the dapp because it might make users confused when they intentionally set to "pop-up" mode and dapps just want to open in "tab" mode or vice-versa

This has already been covered above.

That [the three dots] doesn't show before logging in. I'd show a screenshot, but I can't in Firefox; when I try the popup disappears.

[sihoang]

that requires the end users to set it.

I was trying to ask if it's possible for a dApp to set it so the users don't have to touch anything. For example, when users click "Transact" on my dApp, can my dApp trigger Metamask to open up a tab instead of a pop up.

@sihoang are you requesting this feature because a full tab would be easier to find than the popup or for a more specific reason?
