Please provide a testcase

I observed similar issues using Hannon Hill's Cascade Server CMS (v 6.10.5) which uses  multiple TinyMCE windows elements to edit portions of a web page. Downgrading to Firefox 10.0 ESR fixed the issue.

Bug is also noted on TinyMCE bugtracker page at http://www.tinymce.com/develop/bugtracker.php - ID# 5089 - Latest FF update locks down multiple TinyMCE instances

I have the same problem with FireFox Mac and Windows.

Can anyone provide a public URL/testcase ?

upgrading to last stable tinymce (3.4.9) solves the problem

Unfortunately, that's not a quick/easy/possible solution for those of us with sites with millions of users that depend on highly customized plugins that we would lose/have to rewrite if we upgraded.

I believe you can test it at http://www.iknowbase.com/tinymce.html

That is exactly true. I tried to upgrade to the latest version, but then none of the functionality worked anymore. I don't think a bug in FF should oblige us to upgrade a piece of server software, all the more when other browsers (including IE!) do not have this problem.

Remember, though, that this is not necessarily a bug in FF. 

It could also be that the version 3.2.7 of tinymce contains some javascript flaws and the latest FF release might be more restrictive and prevent thus tinymce from working correctly. It would work because the other browsers are not catching these javascript flaws. In which case I would say we can't input the problem to firefox.

Of course this can be more unlikely, but we don't know the cause for now.

Eirik, thanks for the link!

The behavior changed in this range: http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/pushloghtml?fromchange=1bd7482ad4d1&tochange=fafaf614791f

I really wish more people would test the Aurora/Beta builds.  The problem has been present since early November 2011, and this is the first we heard of it.  :(

Bug 699351 in that range looks suspicious...

I meant early December, of course.  ;)

[Robert O'Callahan (:roc) (email my personal email if necessary)]

This should be fixed in the next nightly, someone should test that to ensure this is a duplicate.

Tested with nightly 14.01 on a Mac OS X and can't reproduce the bug with the above test link (http://www.iknowbase.com/tinymce.html). So fixed for me.
