Firefox Addon SDK does not send open event to Popup window

I tried a sample in addon-sdk and found the following behaviour.

Main.js:

var windows = require("sdk/windows").browserWindows; for each (var window in windows) {

 console.log(window.title);

} console.log(windows.length); windows.on('open', function(window) {

 console.log(windows.length+"open");

});

Using the website http://www.yourhtmlsource.com/javascript/popupwindows.html to test. Go to the section containing the phrase "Try it here: » Pop it", then click on "Pop it", a new winfow is opened but the open event is not triggered (windows.on('open'...); is not called)

Since I am new to Firefox SDK development, could you help me. Thanks.
