434451 - The File->New Tab menu opens a new window instead of a new tab!

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Sebastiano Ingallo]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; it; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.5; it; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008051202 Firefox/3.0

The problem occours when I visit a page with a java plug-in (precisely the page of the Citrix netscaler's administration). 
Every time I click on a button (only the "save" button) on the applet and then I try to open a new tab from the file menu, a new window is open instead! But if I try to open a new tab after the first attempt and without clicking on the applet's button, it works well!
I can't give you the page's link couse it's accessible only locally!

Hoping this will be useful for you!

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the netscaler configuration utility
2.click on the save button
3.try to open a new tab from the file  menu
Actual Results:  
A new window is opened instead of a tab

Expected Results:  
A new tab should be opened

The theme is the standard of the Firefox 3 RC1 version

I tested it on here: http://pirate-party.us/irc/index.html
and I seem to be able to open tabs just fine even after clicking on the java applet
