I found two DOM related checkins in on 9 August: One for bug 303420 One for bug

Perhaps one of these checkins caused the regression.

Works here with:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050829
Firefox/1.6a1
Are you sure you have the pref allow scripts to "Move or Resize Windows" enabled?
(under tools->options->Content->Enable Javascript->Advanced)

Setting the pref allow scripts to "Move or Resize Windows" to enabled solved the
problem.  It must have changed default state, or become enforced between the 9
August and 10 August nightly builds.

Correct, the default changed in bug 299424.
