304520 - New Window doesn't work if active window is minimized to dock

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 294041

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[artvandelier]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

If my open window or all open windows are minimized to the dock, selecting
FILE-->NEW WINDOW does nothing.  Restoring any window and repeating the action
successfully opens a window.  I have repeated this after reboots, so it is a
persistent problem.

Workaround:  Have at least one displayed (non-minimized) window before selecting
FILE-->NEW WINDOW.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open Firefox
2.  Minimize window to the dock
3.  Select FILE-->NEW WINDOW

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Opened a new window

Standard theme, with Yahoo Toolbar, GMail Notifier, and All-in-one mose gesture
extensions.

Could this be the same issue as bug 239218?

I suggest you try with a newer build of firefox, deer park alpha 2 or later
preferably and see if the bug still exists.

I have verified that this problem does persist in Deer Park A2.  Behavior is the
same as FF1.06.  I do not think this is a dupe of previously mentioned bugs.
