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.
