When clicking on a reload link in the sidebar, the page is loaded in main window
instead of the sidebar.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to http://www.heise.de/news-extern/sidebars.shtml and install "heise
online-Sidebar mit weißem Hintergrund"
2. open the sidebar
3. click on the "Neu laden" (reload) link in the sidebar

Actual Results:  
The sidebar is loaded in main window.

Expected Results:  
It should have been reloaded in the sidebar.
Ok - the reason is, that Seamonkey Sidebars (could not find any sidebars for FF)
mark all links, which should appear in main window as target="_content". This is
according to http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/sidebar/, which is the
main sidebar source, linked from
http://www.mozilla.org/catalog/web-developer/sidebar/. In Firefox, this behavour
is broken, and as the INVALID for bug 218205 indicates, this is intended. Thus,
this bug is probably dupe of bug 218205.

Anyway, this should be documented somewhere outside bugzilla - I filed bug
246004 on that.
