This is a better start page
http://www.lacentrale.fr/recherche_auto.php

I see the same thing. It opens a window, but the window never loads the image
(or finishes loading itself).
Confirm that IE6.0 works... 

A simple test case confirms that Mozilla never finishes loading the page, even
if it is just text, and never loads images.

<p>Hi. Click on this: <a href="#" onClick="showPhoto('<p>Bok</p>')">blogmungous</a>

<script language="JavaScript">
function showPhoto(photo) {

var photo;
newWindow = window.open('');
newWindow.document.write(photo);
}
</script>

The only question in my mind, is there any reason why this might be the CORRECT
behaviour (by the ECMA standard)?

Ah! See bug 98530.
The answer there was that the page author should make it call document.close(),
and indeed, that fixes my test case.
IE is more forgiving in this case.

Also note that in their code, they have not quoted the img URL. However Mozilla
lets this slide.

So is this something for quirks mode?

Change to DOM, mark quirks

Comment 4

[Aaron Lawrence]

Er ... no this is not fixed. 
Unless quirks mode is going away.

REOPEN, nothing in Mozilla was fixed here.

This looks like a duplicate of bug 81980 – document.open()/document.write() without document.close() does not stop throbber and trigger repaint
