209906 - when all windows in firebird are minimized, opening a new window produces only a blank page which you can't change

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 206933

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeffrey Porter]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

The exact scenario is this.  I had two windows open, I minimized them both, and
then hit command-n to open a new window.  The new window was a blank page with
no address.  Not even an "error 404" or anything.  When I tried typing in a new
web address, it gave me options out of the history like normal, but did nothing
when I hit enter.  It did nothing at all, ever, in fact.  I tried it again a few
times, same thing happened when I actually went to the file menu and selected
"new navigator tab" (by the way, you know that that option has a popup when
everything's minimized, but none if a window is open?).  So yeah, never worked,
until I actually had another window open.  That's the deal.  Thanks!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open mozilla firebird, to homepage is enough i think
2.minimize that first window
3.hit command-n, or go to file-new-navigator window
4.try and get it to do something, i dare ya

Actual Results:  
opened a completely blank page with no address, and didn't allow me to go to any
other page from there

Expected Results:  
Let me go to other web pages, something with some content, not just a blank screen

Probably bug 204418. Reporter, can you check if you see the 'Mozilla menubar'
when you hit cmd-N (with the Window, Debug and QA menus), or the 'Firebird
menubar/ ?
