290586 - "Open in popup window" option required in link context menu

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: Menus, enhancement)

Description

[Sas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0

I would like to see an option in the context menu which is "Open Link in popup 
window".

This is a very useful option for opening webmail emails, when I want to open 
the emails in seperate popup windows rather than tabs.
Each of the webmail email does not really require all the meny bars and icons. 
It just needs to display the email message. I hope adding this option wouldn't 
be too difficult, it just requires a context menu item which opens the link in 
a new smaller Window without menu, toolsbars and status bar. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. No steps. This is a feature improvement request.

Actual Results:  
Currently there is no such option to open a link in a popup window.

Expected Results:  
When I select "Open link in new popup window", the link should be opened in a 
new popup window (without any frills).

I am sure 90% of webmail users and news item readers would love to use this 
option.

This is very unlikely to be added to the Firefox default configuration,
especially since it's so easy to do with an extension.
