(In reply to Jared Wein [:jaws] (please needinfo? me) from comment #4) > Ah, yes that makes more sense. When about:blank is set as the New Tab page we show the toolbar on about:blank, and a new window opened directly to a link would have about:blank temporarily before the new location is loaded. We still pass the new location as an argument to the new window if opened externally or using "open link in new window", and we could use that to avoid this situation. It looks like we don't do that when the user has also configured Firefox to open new windows instead of new tabs, but that's probably more of an edgecase, so even a partial fix would be a good idea.
