Attached file testaddon.xpi — 
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0
Build ID: 20160414152344

Steps to reproduce:

- created a new Firefox profile (Fx47/48)
- disabled xpi signing: xpinstall.signatures.required > false
- verified e10s is active
- installed testaddon.xpi
- in customize mode: moved location bar to menubar/bookmarks toolbar
- visited https://disqus.com/profile/login/
- clicked on social button (Facebook/Twitter)


The test add-on only contains one overlay to make urlbar container movable:
<menuitem id="urlbar-container" removable="true"/>


Actual results:

A new window got opened, but did not forward to actual website.


Expected results:

The newly opened window should forward to the actual url like happens when e10s is disabled.

e10s enabled > forwarding using window.open() fails.
e10s disabled > forwarding using window.open() works.

This could be reproduced on other websites too, so https://disqus.com/profile/login/is not the issue.

It may be important to say, that this only happens on windows where toolbars are hidden, otherwise it works fine.

Test html where "Test 1" works and "Test 2" fails:

<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#" onclick="javascipt:window.open('http://www.mozilla.org','_blank');">Test 1</a>
<a href="#" onclick="javascipt:window.open('http://www.mozilla.org','_blank','directories=0,titlebar=0,toolbar=0,location=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=no');">Test 2</a>
</body>
</html>
