User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:36.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/36.0 Build ID: 20150305021524 Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a page with a plugin (Flash on Twitch.tv will work) 2. Place the Firefox window so that the video contents will be below your Start bar 3. Press the Start button 4. Use the Firefox shortcut in the Start bar to launch another instance ---- By placing your mouse inside the plugin while launching the new instance it seems to somehow cause it to fail to load properly. You can close the black window, but it will re-appear if you perform the same steps. Moving the window away and launching a new Firefox will not exhibit this issue. Actual results: The new instance will only load a black screen Expected results: Another Firefox window should appear.
I have just recently upgraded to Firefox 37 Beta channel and will test if this still happens.
It doesn't seem to happen with Nightly 39.
