+/* Open all popups in a tab with the full user interface.
+ *
+ * Many javascript "links" open a popup window with a crippled user
+ * interface. This is a security risk, and infuriating. It used to be
+ * possible to override the website's preference, but Mozilla removed
+ * that ability. Instead we have to force these links to open in a new
+ * tab within the existing window, which already has a non-cripped
+ * user interface.
