I don't know exactly what you mean with "Now make sure to use tabbed browsing", but this I what I see: The "Testlink" in step 4 is opened in a new window (and not the tab from step 3). If you expected the link to be opened in the (background) tab, this bug is a duplicate of bug 121377.
The most simple understanding: in FF 1.5 beta 2,klik tools options and select "tabs". Make sure the option "Force links that open new windows to open in:" is NOT checked. Perform the test. This demontstrates wat is expected. De 2nd URL open in a new window and the window is named "William" as expected. Next, again go to Optons => Tabs, but now check "Force links that open new windows to open in:" and also select "a new tab". Repeat the test. Error: the tabbed window does not have its name. In other words, the property "window.name" is not set at all.
Confirming, though this may well be just another symptom of bug 121377.
