User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008052906 Firefox/3.0

File -> New Window from the menu, or CTRL+N from the keyboard does not open a new window.  The only visible change is that the mouse cursor changes to the "pointer + hourglass" cursor.  No new window is ever created.  Opening tabs works fine, but opening new windows does not work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load firefox
2. Press CTRL+N, or select New Window from the File menu.
Actual Results:  
No new window was created.

Expected Results:  
A new window should've been created.

This works fine for me. Have you tried:

- Firefox's safe-mode to exclude extension/theme problems
- a new profile
- a reinstall in a new empty folder?

Yeah, I discovered that for some reason Firebug 1.2.0b4 breaks opening new windows.  I guess we can close this bug.
