Got it, thanks. The comments there still work for me in my Firefox, so 
we can rule out gremlins findangling your server overnight.... ;-)

I see that it's a link, with a "javascript:" pseudo-URL in the HREF, 
which passes along a thread identifier to a "launchComment(id)" 
JavaScript function, which then executes a "window.open()" with the 
usual arguments.

If I had to guess at a cause at this point, I'd wonder whether something 
changed Firefox's default prefs over new-window requests.

To test this, how does that browser currently do with a non-JavaScript 
[a href="bla.htm" target=_blank] type of request? Assuming it handles 
this correctly, then how about [a href="javascript:window.open(...)]? if 
the JS call is out of the HREF and in a click event?

(You can see where I'm going with this usual tech-support series of 
isolation tests... once the symptom changes with one of these variant 
handlings, then we've determined which element in that chain is the one 
causing the browser to barf.)
