I am seeing this in Firefox 26 and 27 as well.

I have my privacy preferences set similarly.  See "Screen Shot 2014-02-17 at 02.14.18 am - cropped.jpg" attachment.

I have been getting this problem with Seamonkey 2.24 and 2.25 on both Windows 7 and Linux.

Roger's (SeaMonkey) Bug 992663 - Blanks in Window List from "Window" Menu Drop-Down
I've added STR to it.

In FF, is the 'Windows' menu-item specific to Mac?

I did not have to play with history entries. If you find this related to the cookie retention policy set to "ask for each cookie", it's a dupe of bug 970017
