270214 - status argument in javascript window.open() object ignored

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 261061

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Simon Scherrer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

A window opened by using the javascript window.open() object has always a status
bar, hence the status="" argument is ignored. In Firefox 0.9X this was not the
case. It was possible to open a window without status bar using window.open().
The only way to get rid of the status bar is to deactivate the status bar in all
windows via Edit > status bar

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a window that is opened via window.open()
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
the window had a status bar

Expected Results:  
a window without status bar

This is deliberate.  It's a security measure to help prevents sites from
spoofing other sites.
