When more then one window/instance of firefox is open, the F6 shortcut to the url bar doesnt'work.

If you made Customizations wrt Search Fields in the Toolbars you might be hit by Bug 249735.

dunno what "wrt" means, but the bug is different than Bug 249735. The displacement described by Bug 249735 (hope i got that right) doesn't occur. Here its pretty simple that F6 doen't work in the actual firefox window when 2 or more instances of firefox are open.
I cant reproduce this even with 3 windows opened. Searchbar is removed. This is with version 3.6.10
