instead of a webmail java window coming up, another copy of the page
www.optonline.net is created, just in a smaller window.

Actual Results:  
Another compy of the page www.optonline.net is opened in the window that should
have the webmail interface.

Opened the webmail interface so I can check my mail.

WFM with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040327
Firefox/0.8.0+.  Clicking "webmail" opens a login window, as expected.

"webmail" is a JavaScript link, and its actual href is "#", which is the same as
the href being "http://www.optonline.net/#".  If I right-click and select "Open
Link in new window", I get another window showing www.optonline.net (bug 55696).
 But I can't imagine how you would get that just by left-clicking the link.

Try upgrading to Firefox 0.8, disabling extensions, using a clean profile, etc.
