When I try to debug a onresize event for "window" fired by jQuery with Firebug, the Firefox window gets blank.
No tabs, no address bar, nothing appears, only the top bar, where the website title appears. 

If I press F5 to refresh the page, everything gets OK again.

I'm using Firefox 4.0.1 in Windows XP SP3 with the classic theme right now. Will try with another OSs when get back home.

Note: I don't know if that's buggy without jQuery too. Will try soon to see what happens.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Steps to reproduce:
1. Have anything in the onresize event set for "window"
2. In Firebug, put a breakpoint inside the function
3. Resize the window
4. Note that the window will get blank, just like I've described above.
Version: unspecified → 4.0 Branch
You don't need jQuery to reproduce this bug. This simple HTML code will suffice:

<body onresize="alert('test');"></body>

Resize this and you get a black window (and no alert). [F5] gets the window contents back, but Firefox tends to be unstable after this has happened.
adding Honza to this bug... Honza: any idea if this bug is in Firebug or Firefox?
I've just tested using the example by #2 in safe mode. That screen appeared again.
In safe mode Firebug is disabled so I don't see how you could put a breakpoint anywhere.
This is a Firefox bug:

--
Windows handles resizes in bizarre ways; it spins up a second modal event loop while resizing....  So I can certainly see something like this happening.  Please file a bug in bugzilla?  This looks bad.
