Title:
  Hyperlinks that request a new tab don’t open

Status in Oxide Webview:
  Fix Released
Status in Web Browser App:
  Fix Released
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  In the webbrowser-app, when clicking on a link that is supposed to
  open a new window (e.g. href w/ target="_blank" or window.open()),
  nothing actually happens.

  The fix for the bug is in 2 parts:
  - enabling proper popup handling in the webbrowser-app (and handle catching the creation
  signals from oxide and creating the proper extra tab),
  - fixing an issue in Oxide that prevented *in some instances* the signal that requested the new webview corresponding to the navigation to be created NOT to be sent,

  [Test Case]

  - Open twitter.com in the webbrowser-app
  - Try to click on a link in a tweet
  - Result: it should create a new tab in the webbrowser-app with the content corresponding to the clicked link,

  [Regression Potential]

  The fixes are mostly centered around the tab creation and navigation
  feature in the webbrowser-app. So areas around those would be impacted
  (in the handling and creation of those in reaction to the user
  clicking)
