Hi Kai,

This is still present in 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826 <developer build>

testcase:

go to dabs.com
click any of the popups for new products
right click on the manufactor link,
select 'open in new tab'

see that it opens in the full window, hiding the previous window, with no tabs
visible at the top of the window and no back button either ont he context menu

I think this is a duplicate of bug 141521. See also bug 168403 for a discussion
on the solution to this problem. Meanwhile, you can always jump between the tabs
with CTRL+Tab when you have no toolbars, or you can add :
user_pref("dom.disable_window_open_feature.toolbar", true);
to always have toolbars present in those popup windows.

Hi Hasse,

Thanks for looking into this. 

I being able to re-enable the tool bars and tab bars from a right click context
menu would be a good solution to these problems

regards
