275072 - Open popup bookmark: differing behaviour w/keyboard and w/mouse

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 275071

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[João]

Concerning the popup blocker, opening a Javascript bookmark with from the
Bookmarks menu has different behaviour when using the mouse and when using the
keyboard.

To reproduce the problem:

1) Set the Popup blocker to accept the specified URL.
2) Create a javascript bookmark, which does a window.open() for the URL. Let's
name the bookmark "ZZT".
3) Alt+B (Bookmarks)
3) 'Z' key.

Result:

The popup blocker announces the window has been blocked. This does not happen
(and the popup shows up unrestrained) when using the mouse or the arrow keys to
navigate the Bookmarks menu and open the bookmark.

Expected result:

The popup blocker should not differentiate between using the keyboard speedkeys
and the mouse/arrow keys to open the popup.
