Actual steps:

1 Load http://www.sadia.com.br/trainee/
2 Scroll to find the link "clique aqui", and click it
3 In the resulting webpage, click the link "Inscreva-se aqui"

In step 2, the last step given in the instructions in comment 0, the link is
located in a frame and does this:
<a href="the new webpage" target="_top">
loading yet another framed page, and there's no popup window. The problem
happens in step 3. That link loads an affected little webpage that does this in
its load handler:

window.open(<a registration form>)
history.back(1)

...making the simple task of opening a new window into something bizarre and
complex and guaranteed not to work with modern browsers. Of course as a browser
we're obligated to work as best we can even with clueless webpages. Still,
there's already a bug for this.
