Works fine with Windows XP Professional service pack 2. Although the bug is a reported problem with windows vista, I just wanted to provide information that it worked with windows xp pro.

I have tried safe mode and it still doesnt work. The problem is on many of the site i visted. To view an image on a website, where it says click to enlarge i have to right click and open the image in a new tab. Quite annoying and fustrating, and this is in windows vista home premium.

Please try a new profile, i can't reproduce your issue with Seamonkey trunk and FF3.0.5 on vista.

I have solved the problem, i had all pops blocked which wasn't allowing me to open up links from within web pages. I turned on block all pop ups to avoid flash pop ups, i get when i am on Megavideo.com
But i still think it is a bit **** that when selecting block all pop ups, that i cant open links that i am choosing to click/open.

fixed is only used with a patch.
The link opens a popup and it makers sense that it doesn't work if you block all popups.
