All windows are part of the same instance, so that's not as easy as you think.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

But the point is that all FF windows are the same program, which is not like
some other software (e.g. IE) which can run more than once instance.  FF just
doesn't (a fundemental part of the design which isn't likely to change).  So I
suspect this bug is basically impossible to fix  - wontfix?

This is a valid RFE, so confirming.
