Firefox, stops opening new windows either with Ctrl+N or with File->New Window,
after sometime. Usually, I open two are three windows in the begining. Then it
stops opening new windows, as if my commands are trapped. I started having
problems, since I installed SP2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.I start fire fox with x(x=1 or 2 or 5)
2.It opens the requested ones and stops opening new ones after sometime.
3.I kill firefox and start again. Above steps 1 & 2 repeat.



Expected Results:  
It should open a new browser window, every time with Ctrl+N

I have the same problem and it was introduced when I updated from Firefox 1.0.1
or 1.0.2 (I don't remember which exactly) to 1.0.4. Also a new window is not
opened when I click on the Firefox shortcut I placed in the quick launch bar. I
still run WinXP with SP1.
