This bug was fixed in the package webbrowser-app -
0.23+14.04.20140422-0ubuntu1

---------------
webbrowser-app (0.23+14.04.20140422-0ubuntu1) trusty; urgency=low

  [ Ubuntu daily release ]
  * New rebuild forced

  [ Alexandre Abreu ]
  * Fix the network dialog reload (LP: #1309138)
  * Oxide (and Chromium) does not inform of non user driven navigations
    (or more specifically redirects that would be part of an
    popup/webview load (after its been granted). Quite a few sites (e.g.
    Youtube), create popups when clicking on links (or following a
    window.open()) with proper youtube.com address but w/ redirection
    params, e.g.:
    http://www.youtube.com/redirect?q=http%3A%2F%2Fgodzillamovie.com%2F&;
    redir_token=b8WPI1pq9FHXeHm2bN3KVLAJSfp8MTM5NzI2NDg3NEAxMzk3MTc4NDc0
    In this instance the popup & navigation is granted, but then a
    redirect happens inside the popup to the real target url (here
    http://godzillamovie.com) which is not trapped by a navigation
    requested and therefore not filtered. The only way to do it atm is
    to listen to url changes in popups & also filter there. (LP:

Title:
  [webapp-container] Facebook app appears to open links in a new tab,
  rather than external browser window or popup windows

Status in Web Browser App:
  Fix Committed
Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “webbrowser-app” source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  On Desktop, when the user clicks on a link that is supposed to open a
  new popup (target="_blank" or window.open), the link does not open
  properly (no popup or invalid url not part the the same domain as the
  webapp).

  [Test Case]

  - On Desktop:

  1. Open the Facebook webapp,
  2. Click on an *outside* link (that is supposed to be opened outside the facebook page),
  3. Make sure that it opens in the main browser,
  4. Open the GooglePlus webapp,
  5. Click on an outside link,
  6. Make sure that it opens in the browser,
  7. Go to Youtube,
  8. Search for a video that has links to a page outside of youtube (e.g. "movie trailers" with links to movie pages in the 'description'),
  9. Once in the video page, click on the movie webpage link, it should open in the external browser,

  - On UbuntuTouch: the webapp-container does not create or handle
  popups, it should delegate opened links to the webbrowser-app instead,

  [Regression Potential]
