Open external url in new tab and raise window and grouping downloads

Is there posible to raise window after open external link? Or is it possible to group info about downloaded files in one window (open download folder of every downloaded file).
I'm using K-meleon for about two weeks, and can't find solution for that problems.
My previous browser was Firefox 12 it has it has this features, but don't used html5. Anyway K-meleon uses about 50% less RAM then Firefox 12.

Starting from 2nd request.

Install KM75RC3 - the newest development build.

It's way better than 74 release and it has Downloads manager at address
about:downloads (type this in URLbar)




Speaking about first one, I'm not sure, but this could help:
go to
Preferences->Browsing->'Windows Diversion' tab
and tick off there checkbox
Open diverted windows in background

Also check that 'Links meant to open a new window' is set to 'In a new window'

Thanks for fast reply, I got already K-meleon 75rc3, because v74 has memory leaks or something, after closing tabs it still used the same amount of RAM.
Downloads working but external links from my communicator still not raise window when maximized or another window is above them. And I prefere new tab then window, because closing main window not close entire program, and I dont like this.

Edit:
downloader should refresh after every download.
"links passed from external applications" in new window raise new window but in new tab or actual tab don't raise it.

Your choice, there's a setting for it pref sheets, in (F2>) Browsing>Tabbed Browsing:
"when closing the last tab"

Which I don't like, because it also closes an empty window if it's the last one, closing the whole browser accidentally.
Improvement request: that setting should only work on the last window anyway, while multiple windows should IMO *always* close with their last tab smiling smiley

Anyway, I don't like many windows of one program if it have tabs, and most of browsers opens everything in one window.
