(I have set my prefs to allow popups from *.betanews.com). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. http://www.betanews.com 2. following down the right side of the screen, you will see a "View Changes", "watch", and "ignore" icon next to the software titles. Click on one of these links. 3. Actual Results: The popup shows up in the original window as if it was a normal link. This is an issue because it does not allow me to use the intended functionality. For example, when clicking on "watch", I want to add the respective file to my watch list. However, when the link is clicked, the new window does not reflect my "watched" software. Expected Results: Link should be displayed in a popup window.
Alright, I'll bite. You know Firefox can be configured intentionally to behave as you describe by ticking a couple of buttons in the Options dialog. The only other cause for such behaviour that I can think of is extensions. Can you rule out both of those?
Summary: popups not handled correction (open in same window as opposed to poping up) → popups not handled correctly (open in same window as opposed to popping up)

(In reply to comment #1) > The only other cause for such behaviour that I can think of is extensions. > Can you rule out both of those? Before filing the bug, I tried running Firefox in safemode - in order to rule out extensions and the problem still existed. However, after reading your reply, I tested using a new profile and the problem does not occur so it is indeed an extension issue. Sorry.
