Sounds like bug 309775, should be fixed in the latest builds.
Did you get a js error when you tried to open a window?

Yes, I did get an javascript error when using javascript popups. I'm now getting
the latest build. I havn't had any problems for now btw, and the browser has
been open for quite a while, will still install the lastest build though.
