This is the second time an update has prevented javascript pop-out windows. I think the last time it happened was upgrading to 3.6.7 and then Mozilla released 3.6.8 (people were having probs with Facebook at the time).

Anyone else having this issue?

It may be your tabs settings. Try this, go to "options", "tabs", and uncheck "open new windows in a new tab instead". Worked for me.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

Thanks the suggestions cor-el and shamballa1. The problem has gone away. Not sure if the 3.6.10 update did it or something else.
