I have attached the screen-shot of the bug. I have not tried it with safe-mode but I believe its a very critical bug, which should not have occurred even in normal mode.

Please report results of using this in safe mode.
However, I suspect the fault may be with novell groupwise's webmail

I can reproduce this issue systematically with the addon I am working on, which opens a popup window. This was reported as an issue for the addon: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/issues/429#issuecomment-118006928

The popup window is opened as follow by the addon:

    Services.ww.openWindow(
        self,
        details.url,
        null,
        'menubar=no,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes',
        null
    );

Where `self` is the window from the chrome code in which the addon runs.

Note that the issue does not occur with Linux Mint, but it does with Windows 7.

If one choose to agree to the warning, only the popup will close, the tabs which were the subject of the warning are left intact. When the popup window is opened, I can see two Firefox windows in the task bar, suggesting both windows are top-level windows.

Copy-pasting the repro steps here:

- Set default web page at start to "Show a blank page"
- Have at least two (unpinned) tabs opened in the main window
- Check "Warn me when closing multiple tabs" has to be checked
- Install https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/
- Once install open popup of addon, and click the logger icon
    - Logger icon: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/The-logger
- The logger will open in a new window
- Close the logger

Result: on Windows, a warning that you are about to close two tabs. Accept the warning and the popup closes, and the two tabs are left intact.

My mistake, I meant to say to install version 0.9.9.3 from GitHub, which contains the code with the issue: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

We only support webextensions now and the original report could not reproduced
