I guess this would be a problem if this was something that normally happens, but closing a Firefox window should close it's corresponding download window, so what's the problem? Are you saying that sometimes you close Firefox main window and the download window stays open? If so, can you describe the circumstances in which that happens?

[Omer Akram (om26er)]

The reporter wants to say that when firefox main window and download window are opened and you close the main window you cannot re-open firefox again unless you middle click on the launcher icon of firefox or right click and select to open new instance. Just like bug 784804 for nautilus.

Bug says "Use the skip taskbar hint on the window." as a fix for the issue. This needs to be done in firefox itself.

Eric,

We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.

Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.

Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a currently supported version of Ubuntu?

See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases

Please let us know if you do otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time.

Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.
