Comment 9 for bug 226470

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); de; rv:1.8.0.4) Gecko/20060508 Firefox/1.5.0.4

I can confirm this bug - I often leave ff (and Mozilla-suite) open for days/weeks. Early 2006 I started "facing" this bug and hating it :-)
I often work with Typo3, phpMyAdmin and other tools heavily using frames.
This summer I also noticed this bug in mozilla
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de-AT; rv:1.7.13) Gecko/20060411
There I have about 30 tabs open - all the time (news sites etc).

I never saw it on MS Windows, I mostly work on linux (SuSE 10.0 - Xorg 6.8.2, kde). Until end of 2005 I had SuSE 9.1 (XFree 4.3.99, kde) and can't remember this behaviour.
So I think it's also depending on the Window-Manager...

I always try to continue working without closing firefox. When closing the tab with the frames the frame-windows are also disappearing. But sometimes it's useless to try opening the same framepage in another tab or ff window - you always get the "flying frame windows". Just now: after waiting (and reporting here) I can open the last problem frame page again without problems, so maybe it's also a time problem...???

Reproducable: no step-by-step.
It happens when it happens (having ff open for some days and using many frame websites).
