In some web site (not app) studies I've conducted, I have seen users
become disoriented when a new browser window that is either the same or
close to the same size as the existing browser window is popped up.
When the back button is disabled, they became unsure how to return.
Several users typed the starting URL into the new browser window and
began their tasks all over.
