Javascript is enabled but Firefox is not displaying javascript windows.
After clicking any link that will open a "Javascript window", the window is not opened/displayed. When I subsequently close firefox, I'll get a prompt that multiple tabs are open although that is not the case. The Firefox process remains active after I have closed the browser.
I created a clean profile (ran Firefox -p) to see if any of my plugins are causing the problem. I experienced the same problem using the "virgin profile".

Some programs install extension globally that Firefox install by default in a new profile.
Did you check that in the new profile (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) ?

You can divert such JavaScript window.open() links to a new tab.
You can also open such links in the background.
You may have an extension that has changed such settings.
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction
There are three prefs, accessible via the about:config page, to control the focus if you click a link.
browser.tabs.loadInBackground (normal links) browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript) browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground (bookmarks and searchbar)
I verified that browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction" is set to 2 and browser.tabs.loadDivertedInBackground (javascript) is set to false. From what I read from the info you provided, those would be the right settings.
So the problem remains but your efforts are appreciated nevertheless ...

Yes I noticed some extensions that I did not install and I ass/u/me'd that they were not an issue. So I went back an checked on same and identified the culprits:
- Java QuickStarter -- added by the JRE
- Zone Toolbar -- add by the ZA security suite
Disabling these extensions took care of the problem. Thanks for your help ...

As it turns out, by solving this problem I also resolved another issue. After closing Firefox with multiple tabs open, the Firefox process remained active. I was unable to open Firefox until I terminated the active process. It didn't matter whether tabs were saved or not.
Disabling the Java QuickStarter and ZA Toolbar add-ons resolved this issue as well.
