User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/4.0b1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:2.0b1) Gecko/20100630 Firefox/4.0b1 I am using Firefox 4.0b1 32-bit on MacOS X and I am noticing that when I visit YouTube that I end up getting another Firefox icon in the dock. Sometimes it is only one extra, though I have seen up to three extra. If I force quit the icon, then I the main Firefox instance stays, but I am no longer able play flash content, until I relaunch Firefox. Maybe there is a flag that should be specified to treat these children instances as "background"? Reproducible: Always
BTW forgot to mention that I am using this on MacOS X 10.6.4.
