    Instead of "_new", you can use "_newtab" – knshn Jun 27 '13 at 09:38

    This depends on the browser settings, you can't probably change this: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4907854/1935077 – Petr R. Jun 27 '13 at 09:55

Use _blank instead of "_new"

It will instruct the browser to create a new browser tab or window when the user clicks on the link.

As per reference: _new is not valid

It's work for me. Just

    window.open('http://google.com');

Wether a new window or new tab is openend is based upon your browser configuration, within the browser you can set to always open popups in new tabs.

_new might break it and always open a window, _blank is the way to go like Satpal says

it is depends on chrome and firefox tab setting.

For open new tab, you can write as below:

 window.open('http://google.com');

if new tab set as new window then it will open in new window, else it will open in new tab.
