I have seen this problem in the past.  However, this is working fine for me with
Mozilla 1.4.0.rc.1
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

I upgraded my mozilla to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4)
Gecko/20030529
and I dont see this bug anymore

No problem with Mozilla as far as this issue is concerned, but exactly the same
problem (atleast for Yahoo Messenger) exists with Firebird 0.7 for windows as
well. From my experimentation it seems to be some issues Firebird has with long
URLs with "%"s and all, though this is the only glitch I can confirm as of now.

Windows 2000/ Firebird 0.7 (10-Oct-2003)

I get three tabs opened at the same time: one page loads My Yahoo (login page: I
still cannot login as a user). The other shows go37.com or some other 'search'
site. The third tab leads to a blank page. This happens upon clicking the new
mail icon in the taskbar only.

The Firefox bug mentioned in comment 3 and comment 4 is bug 221445

For Mozilla, this is WFM.
