The bug is confirmed but currently unfixed (open for more than 3 months). As 
a partial workaround set dom.disable_window_flip to true in about:config. 

Setting most of dom.disable_window_open_feature.* to true (and making it
impossible to remove browser "decorations" from browser windows) is a
pretty efficient (even if not 100% bullet-proof) way to thwart this kind
of attack. As well as other GUI spoofing attacks.
