[Bug 251151] Re: FF 3 locks up every time a third session starts

[Craig]

Huh ... Wonder why I'm having trouble, although it explains why I wasn't
able to find any fix online.

I start FF twice, once each for two different "desktops" in Ubuntu. Then the
problem usually happens when a Web site pops up another FF window. For
example, it happened today when I was doing some banking and wanted to see
details on a bill. The bank site popped up a separate window and FF locked
up.

This seems to happen on my pre-loaded Dell laptop as well, but I'll have to
confirm that.
