can "Open Page with Internet Explorer" open the page in a ie7's new tab if the ie7 is running?

when i used the generatePopup method and add this " { label: "Options", oncommand: "openPreferences();" }," to show the options dialog, i found that when the options dialog opend, the popup menu was still remain visible.

@Bill:
the popup menu was still remain visible

Try this code:

document.getElementById('FireGesturesPopup').hidePopup();

When FireGestures add-on is activated, Hit a Hint add-on couldn't open links.

@Gomita

"document.getElementById('FireGesturesPopup').hidePopup();" is not work.
my script is

FireGestures.generatePopup(event,
  [
    { label: "Downloads",   oncommand: "document.getElementById('Tools:Downloads').doCommand();" },
    { label: "Add-ons",       oncommand: "document.getElementById('Tools:Addons').doCommand();" },
    { label: "Options",       oncommand: "openPreferences();" },
    { label: "Page Info",    oncommand: "document.getElementById('View:PageInfo').doCommand();" },
    { label: "Library",       oncommand: "document.getElementById('Browser:ShowAllBookmarks').doCommand();" },
  ]
);
