Worksforme on 0.9/Mac OS 10.3.4.
Can you reproduce this without any extention?

Uh oh... now I can't reproduce it.

I only have one extension. Web Developer 0.8.

If I can reproduce it again, I'll remove this and see if this fixes it...

Please reopen and re-evaluate. This is still broken for me in:

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511
Firefox/1.0.4

...exactly as reported in original, that is:

With FF's only browser window minimized in Dock, both cmd-N and File->New Window
hang, with "File" menu highlighted, and no new window is generated. 

This is 100% repeatable for me.
