This needs tracking, as it is a significant, annoying regression. Probably caused by bug 887394, given bug 890421.

Tim, if you're not as confident that this is a regression from bug 887394, please feel free to add qawanted/regressionwindow-wanted

I'm not really sure that this is related to bug 887394. I might also suspect bug 887515. Help from QA with a solid STR would definitely be appreciated!

If this happens to be fixed in today's Nightly this would be a strong indicator towards bug 887394.

[Paul Silaghi, QA [:pauly]]

Couldn't reproduce any issue using the STR in comment 0 and couple other similar scenarios on Nightly 2013-07-08, 2013-07-14 on Mac OS X 10.8.3, Mac OS X 10.9, Win 7 x64.
Any thoughts?

Mark, do you still see this issue?

Comment 6

[Ioana (away)]

Removing QAwanted since QA can't reproduce this issue. Please re-add it if you can give more details for reproducing it.

Comment 7

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

Yes, this is fixed now, I think it got fixed around the time of bug 887394 landing, or very soon after.

We shouldn't track this as it's been marked as a duplicate. Anyway, bug 887394 has fixed this for Firefox 25.

[Simona Badau, Desktop QA]

QA could not reproduce this issue locally when using the same scenario as in the Description or similar ones. 
Tried on Nightly builds that do not contain the fix from Bug 887394 on Windows 7  64-bit and on Mac OS X 10.8:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:24.0) Gecko/20130624 Firefox/24.0 Build ID 20130624031040
