(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_2; en-us) AppleWebKit/531.21.8 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.4 Safari/531.21.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7

In every important website, IE financial, credit card, etc, attempting to open an important link results in a blank window with "type a web address" in the address bar. I can read part of the action in this example:
"javascript:popmqdetailwindow('http: then the url)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Attempt a non-ad function such as a payment popup window.
2.a blank popup appears with nonsense in the address bar
3.
Actual Results:  
This happens on every HTTPS banking website. Not sure if this is important. Only happens on this version. IE: this is a new bug unique to this version.

Expected Results:  
A popup with an action item occurs such as a choice or an answer.

The Javascript window should have opened and provided the intended function. This is so bad, I can't use Firefox for my banking functions any more.

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
