New tab features shouldn't block javascript popups....
Not sure how bugzilla works so perhaps someone can post this for me.
The new Options-Advanced-Tabbed Browsing should have an option to allow javascript or similar windows to open normally instead of a new tab. What I mean is small windows that usually don't have toolbars, etc. They were meant to be seen as a popup windows and you should have the option to keep that feature while still blocking target="_blank"
If you use the "force links to open in new window to open in:" it creates this problem.
It would be much better to do it like the Single Window extension where u can choose to allow javascript popups to work as intended.
Here's and example though it's a flash link....

i'm pretty sure my http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=143698 is the same thing, only with a chrome window instead of a java pop-up window..
then again i'm just guessing at things i'm admittedly ignorant about.

For those of us who dislike using about:config, you can alternately use TBP 0.9.91. Set "Open requested JavaScript popups in:" to "Unresized Popups" and you'll be OK.

anyways, i prefer the single window extension
and i got the workaround from the other thread complaining about this but it should still be addresses before RC1
not to bash Single Window Extension, but it's a pos. It wouldn't block some ad popups if you ran the popup tests. Thanks to TheOneKEA for the great extension. TBP owned!
