Hi, im using this code

```auto
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.knorcedger.com/"), "_blank");

```

and i use firefox, which blocks flash from opening a new tab. I read around internet, and i find out that it may be possible to make it work with javascript.

Can someone write an example on how to do it with javascript, or any other possible way?
