[Bug 289886] [NEW] Firefox resizes whole browser on javascript pop-up

[Duncan Lock]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

When middle clicking the chart displayed on this page:

http://junkcharts.typepad.com/junk_charts/2008/10/vanishing-act.html

the image opens in a new tab, then the javascript attached to it runs,
re-sizing the whole browser window.

Clicking the chart normally, opens a new window which then gets resized
by the javascript - the intended behavior.
