604840 - Firefox 4 Window will not render if screen it was last on is no longer connected.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 583316

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Matt Farmer]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/6.0.472.63 Safari/534.3
Build Identifier: Firefox 4 Beta 6

I was working in a two-screen configuration earlier today. During that time I was utilizing Firefox 4 on my secondary screen. I closed Firefox 4 while it was still on the secondary screen, and disconnected the secondary screen. Later, when I attempted to open Firefox 4, the window will not display.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Firefox 4 Beta 6 while using a 2 screen configuration.
2. Move Firefox window to seconary screen.
3. Close Firefox 4
4. Disconnect secondary screen.
5. Attempt to reopen Firefox 4.



This prevents the use of the browser, and should be dealt with quickly.
