The bug-report entry page comes in a new window

A toggle to set a preference of behavior for a single not often clicked link is really not desirable nor needed. The link opens in a new window by design.

We could use their preference "browser.link.open_newwindow", We do that on the QMO tab I believe, and for the dupes list from Bugzilla.

He actually brings up a good point about possibly making QAC its own entity in test, so that any QAC/Testing related windows are put only on QAC. 

To him, the user, it logically makes sense to not mix and match between testing-related tabs/browser windows like a filing a bug on the browser space that he's supposed to be testing on.

I dont think this is a bug per se, but it can be an enhancement

hmm, I thought you meant having it open in a new tab in the browser window, not the QAC window. We accidentally opened a Bugzilla page in the QAC at one point and it looked pretty bad with the size of the window, I'm actually not even sure how that happened given we don't have browser in the QAC, but it did and it was not very usable.
