In Firefox3, when we try to open a new window from a `popup` window with `window.open` it opens in a new tab of the `parent window` instead of the `current popup window`. It's working with Firefox2...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. From the main browser window open a popup with `window.open('#', 'pupup', 'width=800,height=600')
2. Now from the `pupup` try to open another window with `window.open('#')
Actual Results:  
The new window after step (2) should be in a tab of the `popup` but it opens in `parent window` (main browser window).

Expected Results:  
The new window after step (2) should be in a tab of the `popup window`

Attachment: Check the window.open behaviour.

Here is a simple example to test it...
