when reaching the website https://particuliers.secure.lcl.fr (a famous French bank), it opens 4 new windows. As specified by my Firefox preferences, they are openned in 4 new tab.
Or they had too... instead, Firefox simply crashes !

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to https://particuliers.secure.lcl.fr

Actual Results:  
Browser crash

Expected Results:  
https://particuliers.secure.lcl.fr loads and 4 new window (or 4 new tabs) are opened. 

I don't know if the popup blocker should have blocked it, but this is not the point here.
Konkeror doesn't crash and works as expected (4 tabs opened, non crash)

I don't see 4 tabs or windows on this page and I don't see blocked pop-up notifications. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes for the crash.

The other (unexpected) behaviour is a redirection to immobilier.lcl.fr If you click on "back" button --> Crash.
If the crash may be caused by Flash plugin (it is used on particuliers.secure.lcl.fr), the redirection is unexpected.

This bug was due to an unknown quirck behaviour with Flash plugin (Only pages with Flash applets where subjects to this bug, not all, but every time on pages where bug was encoutered).
The bug disappeared, but I think it may happend on every new installation of Feisty Fawn amd64 + Firefox + Flash plugin.

Now I have a more "normal" behaviour : Flash works, or its says the latest version is needed, or Firefox crashes in the "normal way", but I have no multiple dirty redirections.

I don't know how and why this bug came, nor why and how it stopped.

I've just had this kind of issue (but my tabs were manually opened).
I do use a lot of extensions.


Here is the crash : bp-03c35785-726b-4102-bb20-c9cb42120220


Should I open à new bug?

Hope it may help.
