Mozilla fails to create a new window if a page containing window.open has not 
finished loading. 
  Steps to reproduce:
   1. open above url
   2. click the link
      -script will inform you that mozilla failed to create window
   3. wait until page load will finish (about 10s)
   4. click the link again (page will open)
  expected results:
    script should not be started before pageload is finished. If you made 
some other assumptions, mark it as invalid.
Let me guess. You have "open unrequested windows" turned off, no?  This prevents
window.open() calls before the end of the document load...
You are right. I did not know that it works that way. It is called 
"open unrequested winows", but window.open called during onclick event
is requested by user. You can mark it as INVALID or  as a FEATURE REQUEST to 
open windows in onclick event even when "open unrequested windows" is not checked.
To CAPS.  We should definitely have a better way of detecting this case and 
opening the window.
