Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open single browser window with some tabs 2. Open history window 3. Close browser window 4. Open new browser window Actual Results: Tabs from the closed window are loaded Expected Results: Opened a new window to the home page

I could reproduce what was described above on: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:2.2a1pre) Gecko/20110407 Firefox/4.2a1pre But it's unclear whether it is a bug or not; if the history window is still open (belonging to a Firefox instance) it is presumable that if closing and reopening a window would keep the content from that instance. Remaining Unconfirmed. Proposing it as invalid.

Proposing it as invalid. By that logic, the same behaviour should exist when closing and reopening a window when the instance is kept alive by another window, and not just the history window.
