284700 - multiple tabs closing when one tab should be

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Mike]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050225 Firefox/1.0.1

With multiple tabs open (three and up) if I try to close one of the tabs,
several will close at once. Sometimes instead of closing the tab, the tab will
revert to the "(Untitled)" tab- with no URL history. (meaning, using the back
button won't get me back to the page I had opened in that tab.) 

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open multiple tabs with different sites opened in each tab.
2. Close one tab. (usually I start with the tab to the farthest right) 
3.watch as two or three tabs close in addition to the one tab I wanted closed
4. cry like a baby, wipe snot on sleeve.



Expected Results:  
Closed one tab, not two or three or four.
