I don't see the exception, but I can reproduce the problem

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050316

With Mozilla 1.7.5 and 1.8b1 I can't switch back to Mailnews with Ctrl+2 and I
see the exception in the JavaScript console. Switching to the already opened
Mailnews window in the Window menu also doesn't work, but switching to the Mail
& News Account Settings window does work.

Confirming with Mozilla 1.7.6 on WinXP. I see the same error in the console like
in comment 0.
