742764 - New window is missing tab and subsequent tabs block access.

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Pat McCormick]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:11.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/11.0
Build ID: 20120312181643

Steps to reproduce:

1) Open a new window - now there is only a page in a window with no tab - just the "new tab" icon along the top of the page.
2) Open a second tab either by "open in new tab" or clicking the "new tab" icon at the top of the window.
3) New tab appears over the first page but first page never got a tab. Now there is no way to return to the first window without closing all tabs in front.


Actual results:

Have to manually close all tabs to see the first page. Can copy first page url and paste into a new window that has a tab.


Expected results:

First window either must create a tab or store information so that it receives a tab when a subsequent tab is opened.

Hello Pat,

I was not able to reproduce your problem from 2012.
