276534 - Firefox duplicates new windows, tabs and closing of windows

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274303

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[db]

Sometimes Firefox creates two tab but asked to create a new tab. However, FF
handles them as one - if you colse one of the two tabs both are closed. I think
this also applies to windows, i.e., if I create a new window FF actually creates
two windows. This behaviour has been there several version, from 0.7-0.8 or so
up to and including 1.0.

I will add more details next time it happens - however, I don't think this has
something do to with a certain URL, rather it seems as FF gets stuck in some
weird state.

Use any extensions? TBE?

Not TBE

I usually have Web Developer, Reload Every and User Agent Switcher installed.

This seems to be a duplicate of #274303, no?
