No one browser is flawless ... no one page layout/markup/etc. is ideal for all circumstances ... if all you want is to rant do it constructively ... otherwise:
It is always helpful if you include the following:
Without some details we are guessing in the dark ... perhaps helpfully, probably not.
** OS and browser(s) that show/don't show the problem.
*XP - IE NO PROB.
*XP - FF PROB.
** Full DocType used.
* HTML
** Brief appropriate HTML code snippet.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
function WinOpen() {
open("http://DOMAIN.com/latest/addlnkctgry.shtml?BLAHBLAH");
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
...
<INPUT TYPE="button" name="Window" value="Click to suggest
a link or category" onclick="WinOpen()">
in the child window the following fails to open a new window:
...
<A HREF="addalnk.shtml?blahblah" TARGET="-blank" onclick="self.close()">Suggest a link</A>
....
Thought I'd add this also:
self.close()
doesn't work in primary window and only works in a pop up. IE will close primary after warning.
also triple click in IE selects the whole line in FF doesn't.
