 Replying to [comment:34 mikeperry]:
 > This one seems like a decent workaround to me. I am inclined to agree
 that fixing some instances of this are better than letting it go.

 Agreed. Nevertheless, I'd like to have a proper fix for this issue. I'll
 open a ticket for this once this ticket got fixed by switching the
 proposed pref.

 > I am a little concerned about the usability of popups going to new tabs,
 but I think it is not terrible.

 Agreed.
