I open a popup, and it opens in a new tab. By this, it isn't a real pop-up any
more, but a normal window. Just a tab with the popup view in. It must be a new
window that opens without scrollbar, a width and a height. But it is always a
normal window in a new tab.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I do something on a site, by this opens an automatic pop-up
2.An automatic popup opens in a new tab
3.

Actual Results:  
An automatic popup opens in a new tab. It must be a new window that opens
without scrollbar, a width and a height. But it is always a normal window in a
new tab.

Expected Results:  
Open the popup. It must be a new window that opens without scrollbar, a width
and a height. But it is always a normal window in a new tab.

I don't report a crash.

That's possibly because of your tab settings in Options.

You must have the "Force links that open new window to open in:" set to "a new
tab". Otherwise let me know to undo the dupe.
