(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Dileep]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When FireFox is configured as
Options/Tabbed Browsing/Open these requested JavaScript popups in tabs:
"Unresized Popups",
if an unresized popup is opened in a tab-less popup window, the popup is opened
in a new tab in the same window. But since the window doesn't have tabs, the new
tab is hidden.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Add this setting in FireFox: Options/Tabbed Browsing/Open these requested
JavaScript popups in tabs: "Unresized Popups"
1. Go to
http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=304717&pfp=ntzoffer&ref=cj
or any other CompUSA product page.
2. In the "Check Store Inventory" box, enter a zip code (such as 85226) and
click on "Go!"
3. A list of stores is opened in a sized popup window (say window #1), with only
a status bar (no tabs)
4. Click on one of the stores under "Store Information".
5. The new popup (say window #2) is opened in a new tab, but the window (#1)
doesn't have tabs. So it is not shown.
6. Enter "Ctrl+Tab" to switch tabs; you'll see the tab (window #2) is opened.

Actual Results:  
Unresized popup (window #2) is opened in a hidden tab.

Expected Results:  
Options:
1. Window #2 can be opened in the opener.
2. Window #2 can be opened in a new popup window.
3. Tabs can be added to window #1 when window #2 is opened.
