Bug Description

I have

Edit -> Preferences -> Tabs -> "When sites request new window, open new tab"

checked.

But there is this link pointing to:

javascript:openDefaultWindow('https://bla.url.com/','')

wich opens on a new window no matter this option is checked or unchecked.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Which version of Ubuntu are you running? Which version of Firefox? Is there a public website which exhibits these symptoms?

I think that this behavior is not new for this version of Firefox. Nor I think it is specific of this version of Ubuntu (or even to the linux variants of Firefox).

Unfortunately, the page that causes me problem isn't public.

If a link like I described doesn't reproduce the problem, I can get more things from the page (like javascript source code, HTML code, etc...) so we can make a repeatable case.
