At the time this bug was reported, it was happening to me regularly --
several times a week (See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+source/firefox/+bug/19552/comments/79
).
I haven't seen a single occurrence in the last 4 years, so I think this
bug has been fixed by changes to the javascript code, and the bug should
be closed.

Title:
Opening a new tab opens a new window instead
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
This has been happening to me approximately once per day. When I have
lots (5-25) tabs open in Firefox, sometimes clicking on a link to open
a new tab opens the page in a new window instead. However, this new
window is missing the menubar and the toolbar and the status button,
and closing the window closes all my firefox windows and tabs without
confirming. That's really annoying.
My workaround so far has been to bookmark all my tabs at once, then
restart firefox.
I think this is related to javascript somehow, because sometimes the
new window is just an ad that should have been on the page. Also,
today, it has happened twice with the gmail page. The new window also
can't have focus in it.
