This just uses the window mediator RDF datasource.  Anyone know why this would
be busted in Firefox?

Comment 2

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

For some reason, the very first window created by Firefox gets ignored by the
window mediator.  Adding a tab is enough for it to show up on radar.  bsmedberg
fixed this once, not sure why it regressed, but he's probably the best person to
poke on the issue.

i thought that was an optimization because firefox didn't want to maintain a
window list unless it was absolutely needed, which it isn't in general (except
on macosx).

bsmedberg, any idea on this one?

I *think* that my commandline rewrite fixed this, at least it seems to work for
me now. But I haven't actually downloaded a nightly build in ages, so somebody
else should probably check.

I personally only ever encountered this problem on linux, never on windows.

It seems starting with mozilla beta2 DOM Inspector shows completely list. I
couldn't reproduce this bug on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US;
rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050719 SeaMonkey/1.0a .

this was always a firefox bug, never a seamonkey bug.
