There's a page popping a new window via JavaScript. This new win has no
toolbars, scrollbars, etc. If I click on a link with ctrl pressed or choose
"Open in a new tab" from the popup menu, it does nothing while it should show a
tab. However, when I close this window, a warning about closing 2 tabs shows. So
the browser creates the tab but doesn't show it. 
What is more, if the link is another JavaScript popup, and I try to open it in a
new tab, it shows a new pop window BUT still creates "invisible" tabs.

Cheers,
Dominik

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create 3 HTML files like this:
page1.html
*********
<HTML>
<A target="_blank" href="page2.html" onClick="window.open('page2.html','_blank',
'width=660,height=595,toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,
resizable=yes,status=no,location=no,directories=no,fullscreen=no','true');
return false;">Pops a win</A>
</HTML>

page2.html
***********
<HTML>
<A href="page3.html">Another page</A>
</HTML>

page3.html
*********
<HTML>This is another page.</HTML>

2. Start from page1.html and click the link. Another window pops up. 
3. In this window ctrl+click the link or select "Open in a new tab" from the
popup menu.

Actual Results:  
Nothing happened but apparently the browser created the tab "somewhere".

Expected Results:  
show the tab properly or disable tabbing in JavaScript-popped windows.
