Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0 (Beta/Release) Build ID: 20140605174243 Steps to reproduce: Surf to a website. Click on a hyperlink that opens a view, informational window, etc., in another window (not tab). Close that "child" window. The next time Firefox is started, it will open that child window along with restoring all the other (expected) tabs in the main window. Actual results: Had a potentially embarrassing child window open when I clicked a link on an somewhat "innocent" Web page. Closed the child window (quickly!). Closed Firefox for the day. Next day, started Firefox and up popped the embarrassing window I had closed the day before. Expected results: A closed window should be treated like a closed tab and not reopened upon browser restart.
