This still is present on the trunk.  

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050127 Firefox/1.0+

This also requires that popups are allowed to open in a new window so they
cannot be diverted to the current tab or a new tab.  

Also I have all of the dom.disable_* entries set to true in about:config. 

The link on the given URL that shows the problem is the 'no menubar' link.

I hadn't noticed this before but when opening a sidebar fails the javascript
console gives:
Error: this.docShell has no properties
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml
