Hi Brett, You are correct in thinking that the problem is most likely upstream of Geb and Gecko is either not opening the new window or reporting that no new window has been opened. Let's try to find what exactly the problem is.
Some questions: 1. You said you recently upgraded the stack. Did the code in question used to work before? If so, which versions of libraries in the stack did it work on? 2. You said that changing the target of the link makes the test pass (I find it surprising that changing the target has an influence on the outcome) but what about leaving the target as is and changing the href? I have a suspicion that the behaviour you're seeing has something to do with using # as href because clicking on a link like that will not load/reload the url in the browser. 3. Do you see the new window opened if you put a breakpoint at https://github.com/geb/geb/blob/master/module/geb-core/src/main/groovy/geb/Browser.groovy#L828 and run the test?
