Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4pre) Gecko/20070410 BonEcho/2.0.0.4pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.4pre) Gecko/20070410 BonEcho/2.0.0.4pre ID:2007041003

I try to open the link on the left by middle clicking the picture, and it opens an untitled window which is blank (all white). The url of the new window is:

javascript:void(window.open('http://cosmos.bcst.yahoo.com/up/news?ch=61492&cl=2329406&lang=en','playerWindow','width=793,height=608,scrollbars=no'));


If I open it by left clicking, it opens fine, then I can use the merge window function of the Duplicate Tabs extension to put it into a tab in the original window, which works fine. 


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1."Middle click" the image on the left.
2.Note behavior.
3.
Actual Results:  
see above

Expected Results:  
It should open in a new tab as expected and as the software (under Tools:Options) is configured to do.

no additional information at this time

Sorry. I am already on that one. I thought I searched, but didn't see anything. Thanks for your effort.
