Steps to reproduce:

I am trying to use window.open() with certain settings to get around this issue: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1296481
I call window.open() or window.open(someurl) from within my extension code.


Actual results:

Nothing occurs except for a return value of null.  This indicates a failure according to documentation.


Expected results:

In chrome when I call window.open, it opens a new window (tab) as expected and returns it.
