Remove the "existing window" option for where to open URLs.

This was kind of a dumb option. I mean, who would want that?
We didn't support it in Chrome. We attempted to support it in
Firefox, Netscape and Opera.

It actually caused my Pidgin to hang when I tested it with Firefox.
I'm sure it's fixable, but who cares? Here's the stacktrace, for the
curious:
