After login on www.friendscout24.de , it is not possible to open any personal
page of another member, the current tab immediately closed itself. To open it
one has to click on a link which contains javascript (example:
javascript:profile('3873624','ichbines64') ). I dont think its the Adblock plugin. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create account on www.friendscout24.de
2.Login
3.Click on any username (on the right part of the page)

Actual Results:  
Current tab closes ittself

Expected Results:  
Leave this tab open and open another tab with a page about personal details of
the user.

I have several extension installed, such as NoScript an Adblocker, but scripts
are allowed for this site, and Adblock has no entries for it either.

Moving to Tech Evangelism. The website is using a script to close the current
window when you click the link.

onclick="return parent.wincheck('2661024')"

I think this may have something to do with browser.link.open_newwindow being set
to 1.

Reporter, can you still reproduce this bug in Firefox 10.0.2?

Please update to Firefox 10.0.2 or later, update your plugins, and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated version of Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME.
