Description

[John]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.0.7&os=osx&lang=en-US

When clicking on a link that is supposed to open in a new window the new window
is not opened (pop-up blocker doesn't indicate that the page was blocked) and
the link is not followed in the vurrent window or a new tab. After this error
occures, firefox will not close unless a Force Quit command is issued to it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a web site that has a link that opens in a new window (I only tested
javascript links)
2. Click on Link
3. Try to close firefox in a normal way

Actual Results:  
Link was not opened and firefox refuses to close.

Expected Results:  
link should have opened.
Firefox should have closed properly even if link did not open.

I was using the Noia Extreme theme. there were no extensions installed. I did
not test with the default theme

It seems that some setting was just incorrect. I had thought that no extensions
were installed, but the user agent switcher extension was. I uninstalled all
extensions and themes, restarted firefox, and every thing worked fine from
there. I don't know what was really causing the problem, but it's fixed now.
Sorry for the false report.
