Can you reproduce this in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Cause found: FLST extension needs to be installed with the option to "focus last
selected tab" for this bug to occur.

I noticed this off and on over the past two weeks. If you fiddle with flst
(uninstall/reinstall, dump prefs, etc), does it get better? I wasn't able to
reproduce this with a new profile. Strange... but it'll prolly come back later.

When tab-flipping is enabled (default), trunk really goes bonkers.. Can't change
tabs or anything. I think it just needs a refresher for 1.1, but haven't asked
the author about it.

The following is a minimalistic patch for flst which corrects this problem.

Daniel said it was used to work around an odd bug which caused ui problems in
older versions of firefox and that it has since been removed in his development
version.

Issues with FLST should be addressed with its author, and not on Bugzilla. We
can't do anything about it, and commenting here is just a waste of your time.

I'm commenting for the sake of the reporter, those cc'd, and others who may end

Could not reproduce the problem in safe mode.

But when the "Tabbrowser Preferences" Extension (v 1.2.8.5) is enabled, this
problem comes up.
