I have never heard of it (I got on the web first time in 2002), but
maybe they got rid of it cause it could be a security risk?
I don't know much about cookies and sessions and anything related, but
istm that if in a new window you go back to where you were in the old
window, and log in somewhere, it could interfere with what you were
doing in the old window. I'm thinking filling out forms and credit
card stuff. No idea really :-)
