Public bug reported:

On Lucid with OpenJDK-6 using Firefox 3.6, when a Java applet displays
an embedded hypertext link which the user clicks on, the link is opened
in the parent window of the applet, causing the applet to be replaced by
the link and killing the applet.

The expected behaviour, and that which was present in previous releases,
is to open the link in a new window (target "_blank").
