Reporter, I cannot reproduce this with Firefox 3.6 (the current release).  Can you please update Firefox and try to reproduce this?  Let us know what happens.  Thanks.

I've made this happen (and actually have a patch that I haven't gotten around to finishing). It's hard to do in a fresh session, but if it's a session that's been around for a while and windows take little longer to restore, then it's much easier to trigger. The code also says this problem should exist.
