On 3.1a2pre, if I have jit enabled, I cannot copy the URL from the Location Bar of a window that has been popped up via JavaScript. The offending page is:

http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3869826&CatId=233 

and it uses the following URL to pop up the new window:

javascript:TG_openBRWindow('http://static.compusa.com/html/upsruntime.html','CloseUp','toolbar=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,width=500,height=575')

Other content within the pop-up window can be copied, but the URL cannot.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open http://www.compusa.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3869826&CatId=233
2. Click on the "Power Protection Essentials" button (under the text "What You Should Know").
3. Attempt to copy the URL from the Location Bar of newly opened window.
Actual Results:  
URL is not copied to the clipboard.

Expected Results:  
URL should be copied to the clipboard.

I had only attempted to copy via Cmd+C when filing this bug, and have now tried again with right-click -> copy, and the Location Bar won't even let me right-click on the URL.

I see the same behavior with or without jit on today's minefield build on mac os x and can not copy the url from the popup in 3.0.3 either. Please confirm that this is a problem with jit only on trunk and that you can perform the copy on a nightly 3.0.3.

I have the same problem on Firefox 3.0.5 on Mac. Sometimes (or maybe always, I'm not sure) if I open a window using Javascript, I can't copy its URL with Cmd+C or by right-clicking (because the context menu doesn't show up). This happens for example on this page: http://www.be-ez.com/prod_larobeblackaddict.html (3 images below the text), and also on the page mentioned in the bug description.
