Bug Description

Using the Google Calendar launcher and Google Docs launcher as installed from Firefox.

In calendar, if your session expires and you are asked to log back in, on clicking "Sign In"the calendar window is opened in firefox. If you sign out, the webapp window shows "Please wait" while the calendar you're trying to sign out of opens in firefox.

Similar experience with Google Docs. When you open a document it opens in firefox, not the web application container.

I would expect the web-app container to confine Google Calendar (or whatever domain you're in) to it's window, otherwise it defeats the whole point.
