Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Nancy Daley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

If I am in Thunderbird and then click back to Firefox using the icon on my dock or minimizing Thunderbird or clicking ONCE on the Firefox window and then try to move the Firefox window, Firefox freezes and must be Forced Quit.

"Move" defined as choose anything except white space to click on.  Even the scroll bar.  Especially the scroll bar.  Instant freeze (spinning color wheel) and the only solution is to Force Quit, losing all my open tabs (generally 4 running at one time).  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open any website (I am often at www.scrapshare.com)
2.Open Thunderbird.
3.Minimize Thunderbird (it would still say you are in Thunderbird on the nav bar at the top.
4.Click on the scroll bar on the website.

Actual Results:  
Spinning color wheel.  No switch from Thunderbird to Firefox in nav bar. 

Expected Results:  
Switched to Firefox.

Please retest with the latest Firefox (and Thunderbird) version, possibly also with a new profile.
