[Bug 366502] Re: Blank error consoles after Firefox update, after system restored from hibernation

[gk]

** Summary changed:

- Right-click (randomly?) opens blank new window
+ Blank error consoles after Firefox update, after system restored from hibernation

** Description changed:

+ This bug has an easy work-around: restart the system - blank windows no longer occur. *** Close this bug ? ***
+ (Further tedious detail in my comment following the attachments. My original report immediately below: ...)

  Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
  
  At seemingly random times (i.e. I can't reproduce this bug on demand)
  when I right click on a link a small blank window pops up (instead of
  the expected context menu). The pop-up window's frame has restore and
  close buttons (and window title 'Firefox' - to be confirmed - can't
  reproduce this behaviour right now).
  
  When the pop-up's close button is clicked the pop-up disappears and the
  expected context menu appears; however, when the context menu's 'Open
  Link in New Tab' item is clicked the context menu closes but nothing
  happens (i.e. the hyperlink is not opened in a new tab).
  
  The same blank pop-up displays when menu item 'Help -> About Mozilla
  Firefox' is clicked - no 'About' info appears when this pop-up's Close
  button is clicked. This behaviour is (currently) consistent. Perhaps a
  better bug title would be "Help -> About Mozilla Firefox opens blank
  window".
  
  My 'Update Manager Commit Log for Fri Apr 24 14:53:07 2009' includes
  "firefox-3.0 (3.0.8+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2) to 3.0.9+nobinonly-
  0ubuntu0.8.04.1". This was the last update before this bug manifested -
  however bug didn't appear until the following day.
