It's a bug, not a feature. See

You can block pop-up windows by adding the following line to your
prefs.js file (edit the file while Mozilla isn't running):
user_pref("capability.policy.default.Window.open", "noAccess");
Note that some sites depend on being able to open new windows in order
to work correctly. If you want to let specific sites open new windows,
see the configurable security policies documentation at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/configPolicy.html.
