Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

This is non reproducible.
Sometimes, opening a new tab (via a bookmark folder or control-click on a link)
yields a blank tab and another window without the toolbars or any title, which cannot be closed.
Destroying it closes the whole Firefox application.

Package: firefox-3.0 3.0~b3+nobinonly-0ubuntu2

All right, I will if/when this happens again.
A pattern I seem to have noticed it this happens whenever I open many tabs in a row (many control-clicks or opening a selection of tabs).

Oh, by the way, I cannot find the menu entry you mention. My Help menu goes like this:

Help Contents
Release Notes
Report Broken Web Site...
Report Web Forgery...
Check for Updates...
About Mozilla Firefox

What did you mean exactly?

I just managed to produce one such weird tab again.
The refreshing of the windows on that virtual desktop never happens (when I iconify a window its contents stay on the screen).
I am now using Firefox 3.0 b4.
What should I do exactly to help you diagnostic the problem?
