Details

At the provided URL, the content is loaded by a

  window.open("someurl.html", "_top")

When "Open Unrequested Windows" is blocked, nothing will happen here. IMO this
is not desired, since no new window will be open by this action, but the
existing "_top" frame will be reused. This operation should be allowed even when
"Open Unrequested Windows" is forbidden.

The same should apply when window.open() addresses a window which has already
been opened before, by it's name. Since no new window will actually be opened by
this operation, the window.open() should be executed.

(I'm not sure if this is a bug or a request for enhancement, so I kept the
severity as normal.)
