(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

- Try clicking on a programme, e.g. BBC News.

A tab bar should really be shown when the new tab is opened, but a blank screen
is shown.

To reproduce this, you need to press Ctrl-T in a popup window that has frame.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Goto news.bbc.co.uk
2. Click "Watch BBC News in Video" in the top right
3. Press Ctrl-T in the popup window that opens

Actual Results:

A completely white window appears

Expected Results:

Not sure - either 

a) Ctrl-T shouldn't work in windows without an address bar or 
b) It should add an address bar and tab bar to the window or
c) It should popup a new window instead of a new tab

Now I know what do you mean. But that happens because popup windows don't have
toolbars, menus and a tab bar. That's just the way it is.
