I've set 

user_pref("dom.disable_open_during_load", true);

in the prefs.js - don't think this deals with the problem as no new window pops
up, but will try again after commenting the line...

[Erik]

Commenting out the "disable_open_during_load"-line doesn't make any differences...

Using a sniffer and Mozilla 2001111403 on Win2k, the Web server send a 501 when
submitting the form according the this bug report.

Perhaps, the JavaScript used to build the request is badly behaving with
Mozilla, I don't know yet if it's Mozilla or Web page's fault.
