If firefox is configured to open new windows in a new tab, everything works 
fine, but a window with the same name is opened twice in different tabs. An 
existing tab should be reused, because if you do not use tabs, an existing 
window instance is reused if a window is re-opened with the same name.

Reproducible: Always
