When opening a mail attachment (i.e. an image), Mozilla opens it
in an already opened browser window, erasing its data.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Look for a mail with an image attached in your mails
2.click on the attachment,
3.select "open"

Actual Results:  The image is opened in an already existing browser window,
erasing its data (even www.slashdot.org before I read it :(( ).
Moreover, when we have several browser windows open, we don't
know which one will show the attachment.

Expected Results:  "Open attachment" should create a new browser window and 
display the attachment into it.
See also bug 68699.  This would solve that problem.  Over to front end.
