Confirming.  Looks like a URI targetting problem....

Posted reduced testcase to my website (URL
http://www.johnkeiser.com/mozilla/129152/a.html).  Note that this only happens
with window.open(), not with link clicks.  The problem is, once a window has
been targeted with _self, "main" from another window will start opening new windows.
