Does the issue still occur if you start Firefox in Safe Mode? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode

How about with a new, empty profile? http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile

I am still getting this bug, but i have notice that i have to open both windows with yahoo mail and have to go into each and turn on the available status on each one then i get a modal window pop up that lets me know i am in open in two place and has an ok button but all of firefox freezes at that point.
