- Browsing in a Private Browsing window - Settings are set to... open link in a new window (which should be a new private browsing window) - I click the link on a site - New private window opens the link in a pop-up window ... with no scrollbar/menubar/bookmark bar/etc... I can maximize the window size, but have no way to see the lower part of the page.... [ see attached capture]

NOTE... it states at the top of that capture Private Browsing... The scrollbars/menubar/bookmark bar are gone., That capture is a pop-up....it is suppose to be a new private browsing window/web page.

- This is definitely a bug in the last upgrade. - using ver 38.0.1 - Browsing in a normal window works fine...that link opens in a new window fine, as is expected. , but something's broken when browsing in private windows. - Resetting mozilla did not fix the problem.

This is a known bug in Firefox that is experienced by some, but not all, users. It can be worked around by following these steps:

  1. Navigate to about:config and click through the warning message.
  2. In the search box at the top of the page, type the text dom.disable_window_open_feature. Wait a few seconds for the filter to take effect or press Enter.
  3. Double click on any of the values listed that have a value of False to change them to True.
  4. Close the tab when you are done and the problem should be fixed!
