Firefox, indefinitely repetedily error message when open new tab

[braweheart]

steps to reproduce

Open Firefox, login to gmail and start a chat with someone. Expand the chatt so that it has its own window
Now, in the original firefox window, open http://www.palladiumbio.com/ in a new tab
An error message appear. Clicking OK only brings up a new identical error message. I am unable to use firefox now, restart Firefox is the only way to get out of the loop.

*The error message
Window title: JavaScript program
Error message: checkTabCreation - TypeError: targetProcessedWindow.targetWindow is undefined

The site uses Javascript, but I do not think this bug is contained to sites using java.

Firefox 3.0.4
sun-java6-bin
sun-java6-jre
java-common

I attach a screenshot of the error message

Most of the time I have only one Firefox window opened, with 60-80 tabs. But now and then some site opens a new window, which happened the other day and shortly after I clicked a link in Pidgin or something. A new tab should be created (Firefox is set to open new windows in a new tab) and I got the same error message, had to kill Firefox which is not so fun because I loose my tabs, or at least those not auto-saved by Session Manager.

Anyway, just wanted to tell you I don't think this i java-related.

Is there no one thath have experienced this bug? Am I alone?

Well well, happy holidays everybody :-)
