When you have a url that opens a new window by desfault, for example
<a href="www.protohome.hpg.com.br" target="_blank"> mozilla should show
"in new window" at the side of the link's url on the sidebar.
This way the user can know if the link will be opened in a new window.
Konqueror have this feature and is very usefull!
For example, I think mozilla is too slow when opening windows, so I use tabed
browe, so if I know a link os going to open in a new window, I choose "open in
new tab" preventing it to open s new window and getting my system slow.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.put mouse over a link
2.see status bar
3.

Actual Results:  status bar shows the link

Expected Results:  if the link is going to open a new window, info about it
should be shown at status bar
