Two frames on a webpage (which I can't provide as it is private) : one on the
left, on the right. The left frame hase a base target for every link in it and
this base target points to the right frame. But when I click on a link nothing
happens as if FireFox 0.9 couldn't understand it.
No problem whatsoever with FireFox 0.8 and I did a clean uninstall / reinstall.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. get a framed site with base target
2. click on a link that use the base target
3. nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Open the link in the "destination" frame
worksforme linux firefox 0.9, with base target frame for links specified in
head, as in <base target="frame2">. Provide a testcase and reopen if you still
see this.

Don't understand a single word : I'm not running Linux but Windows. Here is a
copy of the source of our site :
<HEAD>
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;CHARSET=iso-8859-1">
<TITLE>Assitant</TITLE>
<BASE target="bigpage">
</HEAD>
With FireFox 0.8 or FireFox 0.9 RC there was not problem. With FireFox 0.9, the
<base target> isn't working and all the links in the frame do nothing.
Status: RESOLVED → UNCONFIRMED
Resolution: WORKSFORME → ---
Using that HEAD snippet works fine for me as well. As a random guess, this might
have something to do with bug 246448, if your frames/frameset are from different
origins, or something to that effect.
I and many people cannot see bug 246448 ('You are not authorized to access bug
#246448.')

Does you say about below?

Completely same situation as Comment #2 was reported to Bugzilla Japan and it
was bypassed by setting "docshell.frameloadcheck.disabled" to true.
