On the site www.worthynews.com, I cannot open any of the links in a new tab. 
I've tried this using Red Hat 7.3 and WinXP SP 1 on Mozilla 1.1.  Most of the
links are cgi files, perhaps that's a problem.  Every other site a frequent
works fine, and so did this one until just recently.     

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to www.worthynews.com
2. right click on any link.
3. choose open in new tab

Actual Results:  
Nothing happens

Expected Results:  
I expected a new tab to open for the link.

I logged this using a linux box with and older copy of mozilla.  I want to
assure you that they problem is in mozilla 1.2

Confirming with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2a)

But when you turn JavaScript off, it works. So I think the problem must be
somewhere in the JavaScript

Using BuildID 2002090708 on WinXP.
If you try doing a right click and open in new tab on the lead story you get the
following in JS console:
Error: focusedWindow._content.location has no properties
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaUtils.js
Line: 59

The page is using an old version of pmenu from
http://www.geocities.com/menulite/ current version is 2.5 not sure which version
the page is using but it's not NS6+ aware.

Was this duped against the correct bug as I can't see bug 162393? If that is the
correct bug can we have some sort of hint to the problem?

it was. the problem is the js variable named content. as that variable is being
used internally as well, there is a conflict. this can be exploited.
