User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051107 Firefox/1.5 Sometimes when I load a link in a tab and switch to make another tab in the foreground, the tab in the background will load in a seperate x window. It does not have the firefox logo, and does not contain the toolbar etc. It appears as if the portion of the tab which should have rendered the webpage has gotten its own window in the x server, and the title is a box character. Also closing this new window causes the browser to crash. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. open link in background tab 2. switch to another tab in the foreground 3. Expected Results: Load link in the background tab, within the browser without creating a new window.
