User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce: Firefox 49.01 with e10s enabled. Example Page: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>test.html</title> <meta name="keywords" content="keyword1,keyword2,keyword3"> <meta name="description" content="this is my page"> <meta name="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"> <!--<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="./styles.css">--> </head> <body> <a href="javascript:window.open('./test.html', '', 'height=400,width=400');">Open New Page</a><br> <a href="./test.html" target="_blank">Open After</a><br> </body> </html> Open firefox point to this page. Click on Open New Page. Close the parent window. Click on Open After on the child window. Disabling on about:config browser.tabs.remote.autostart.2;false Then all works the same as before. Actual results: The new tab was not created in the child window, and no new windows were created. Same thing happen with modal window. Expected results: A new tab should have been created or a new window with the new content. New modal window should be created too.

I somewhat suspect this is a docshell issue, as that's what handles left-mouse clicks on links in content. right-clicking the link and clicking open in new tab/window/private-window still works. Bill or Jim, how can we track this? I don't see tracking-e10s flags anymore. :-\

Bug still reproducible to me even with a local copy of test.html. Check that you have multiprocess windows enabled on about:support or add browser.tabs.remote.force-enable=true to about:config. My setting also include "open new window in a new tab" checked.
(I was also able to reproduce on OS X with current nightly.)
