If you open a bookmark from the hamburger menu in popup window, the bookmark should open in the main browser.

Right now they all open in the popup window, so content is replaced with no obvious way to get back.
Oddly all of the help menu items open in the main window except for "Report Deceptive site"

This isn't strictly a regression from bug 1015163 on OSX, where this has always been possible. I find redirecting the load disorientating, but it seems this is also what Chrome does, so...

Mike, I can't reproduce this, is it fixed or are there some STR I'm missing?

Nope, this still happens.

Easiest way to recreate is shift+Click on compose to open a gmail compose window.

Then select a bookmark from the Library. It opens in the popup when it should open in the main browser window.
