Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 854926

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:20.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/20.0
Build ID: 20130409194949

Steps to reproduce:

Hi,

As you know, internet advertisings often open in another window (not in another tab).
I try to close them using the Windows explorer bar, as here :

Actual results:

Firefox considers I want to close the CURRENT Window :

This makes Web browsing very annoying : for each advertising, I now have to click on it in order to fully display its window, then close it.


Expected results:

Firefox should have closed the window I clicked on

Note : even right click + "close" on the second window does the same error (firefox tries to close the first window).

Likely a dupe of bug 854926.
Could you confirm it's fixed with Firefox 23, please: http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Yes, this does not happen with Firefox 23.
