title: Open a new full-size window in Android browser
body: <p>We have a responsive web app designed to run on all of the latest various desktop and mobile browsers. We are encountering a problem with the latest Android default browser (<em>Samsung Galaxy S5, Android 4.4</em>) when opening a new window using <code>window.open()</code>. The browser appears to treat any such window as a "pop-up" window (or "dialog" window, or "subwindow"). This is a problem if that window in turn tries to open another window using <code>window.open()</code>, in which case the browser gives the message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Pop-up already open
  Only one pop-up can be open at a time
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This behavior was not present in previous (4.3) browser versions, and we don't see this problem on other browser platforms.</p>
  
  <p>This is a particularly sticky problem because the second "pop-up" window is needed to log the user in via his Facebook/Google/etc account.</p>
  
  <p>I did some research and tried adding <code>fullscreen=yes</code> and <code>dialog=no</code> to the <a href="http://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/open#Position_and_size_features" rel="nofollow">features parameter</a> of the <code>window.open()</code> call, but these had no effect. I also briefly got it to work by removing the <code>width=nnn</code> and <code>height=nnn</code> feature settings (which allows the browser to assume the full available screen size for the new window), but this mysteriously stopped working after a day or two, and in fact, I'm still seeing inconsistent results on <a href="http://BrowserStack.com" rel="nofollow">BrowserStack</a>.</p>
  
  <p>The exact feature string is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>"location=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,status=no,toolbar=no"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with various permutations/omissions of <code>fullscreen</code>, <code>dialog</code>, <code>width</code>, and <code>height</code> settings.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone know how to <em>consistently</em> force the creation of a full-screen non-pop-up window on this device? Is it possible that this is only a BrowserStack problem? (For obvious reasons, we cannot configure or change the user's browsers, since we have thousands of users managing their own devices.)</p>
