Description of problem: When in the middle of using firefox, sometimes a new toolbar-less window is opened to display content. Closing this window closes all firefox windows. (I think it is crashing firefox without any warning / bug buddy) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.5.0.10-2.el5 but I have seen this on previous versions How reproducible: Randomly Steps to Reproduce: 1. Browse web for a while Since everyone is different, I'd like to point out that I have Gmail open in my first tab and usually 5-20 tabs open at once. Actual results: Clicking on a link that normally would just be followed causes the link to render in a new external window, which does not have any toolbars or scrollbars. Closing this window immediately exits all firefox windows. The only solution here is to go back to the original firefox window and close the broken tab. That closes the 'evil window'. However once it happens, you really need to start exiting as it will happen again very shortly until you quit the browser and restart. Expected results: Should work. Additional info: Posting this because I am desperate. This is really really annoying, especially to anybody who opens tabs to read later - since EVERYTHING is lost when you close the evil window. I am hoping that lazyweb, upstream, and/or component owner has seen this before, etc.
OK, I haven't heard from any other Fedora/Red Hat user about this, so I have to close this as it appears to be unreproducible. Closing as UPSTREAM against Mozilla bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=339251
