No. This is an old issue that Neil tried to fix but backed out due to regressions.

This is intentional, and has happened since bug 22183 landed if you had the dom.disable_window_open_feature.location pref set to true. The only thing that's changed between Firefox 2 and 3 is that we enabled that pref by default in bug 337344.
