[Bug 180882] Opening a NEW WINDOW appears to cause an infinite loop of opening new windows...

[Bruce Wagner]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Opening a NEW WINDOW appears to cause an infinite loop of opening new
windows...

The New Windows instantly cascade....  Apparently, opening New Window
after New Window.... forever.

I have to click on my "Force a Misbehaving Application to Quit" tool to
close Firefox.

NOTE:  This bug is easy consistently reproduceable.

In fact, when I later launch Firefox again....  If I click "RESTORE
previous session" (rather than "Start New Session"), the infinite
opening of New Windows will happen again...  every time!

Feel free to contact me if you need any more info to nail this one down.

Respectfully,
