No problem until opening a third Firefox window. Upon attempting to do so, the third window will not only not open, but the entire 'firefox' process will completely stop responding.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Firefox browser window, regardless of URL.
2. Open another Firefox window. (Not a tab, a window. =P)
3. Open ANOTHER Firefox window.
Actual Results:  
Third Firefox window did not open; remaining two windows froze and stopped responding.

Expected Results:  
Opened a third window?

Nope, I just opened up 10 windows as quick as I could and they all were fine.  It's a problem with your configuration.
