For some reason at random Firefox will display a part of a page or the entire page in a new window. What very odd about this is this new window is not a normal Firefox window its just a window displaying the page(no tool bar or anything) and if I close it by clicking the X all instances of Firefox crash. This happens to me at least once a day.

Created attachment 96858 [details] Screenshot I took a screenshot of this happening to me a few min ago.
Also happened to me using mozilla-firefox-2.0_beta2 on a page with 2 frames. Both frames opened separate windows at the size they'd usually be on the page, apart from that it was the same thing as above. It's only happened that one time and I can't reproduce it.

I can't say I've had anything remotely close to this bug. Then again, I don't use AMD64. This seems to be the only two things in common that both Lee and Sannin mention. Have the AMD64 people had any similar reports of this happening? Or any other thoughts to share?
While I don't use seamonkey that much it dosn't seem to happen with it, only Firefox.
It not arch-spesific bug. It was happening all the time with my previous gentoo installation (Gentoo x86)
Sannin, thanks for clearing the situation up :)
Hey, it' s my duty! :) About the bug, i don' t even know if it is mozilla-spesific. If i remember correctly i had the same problem with epiphany (built with USE="firefox"), so i wonder if it has something to do with gecko. Since i' m new to bugzilla i have a question! How long does it usually take for a bug to be resolved?

Something like this where no one has a clue about why its happening could take months.
It'll take even longer if none of us (developers) can reproduce it. I personally have never seen it happen on any release of Mozilla. And I've been using Mozilla since Milestone 15.
Well as I said it only happens on Firefox on my amd64 machine. IT doesnt happen on my Thinkpad, my dads amd64, or my girl friends x86. So it seems to happen very rarely on random machines. If you want some extra information I'll be happy to post it.
I have read this whole bug report and see no mention of you moving the profile (i.e $HOME/.mozilla) out of the way and testing with a clean profile. I am unable to reproduce this error.
I am not using the default profile. I' ve switched to a new and clean profile but i saw no difference...
(In reply to comment #13) > I am not using the default profile. I' ve switched to a new and clean profile > but i saw no difference... > Could you build up firefox without -msse3 support and see if it resolves the problem please.
I have no problem doing that, but i had the same problem with my i686 gentoo installation with minimal optimizations (-march=athlox-xp -O2 -pipe)...
Some problem with mozilla-firefox-2.0-r1... Fortunatelly, firefox 2 has the "restore previous session" feature, so no damage done from the crash.
Same problem. It looks like it open some frame in separate windows. Using back button from the main frame (if still visible) makes windows disappear as normal navigation would. Closing unnamed window kill firefox. But once firefox is "bugged", it keeps happening even on other sites, until firefox is restarted. No more clue on what start it. amd64 here. Happen on my two computers. Using mozilla-firefox-2.0.
Unable to duplicate, please provide more details and reopen (via anarchy)

Looks like the same bug is reported at Ubuntu launchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/19552
So does this mean its upstream? If it is which project? Firefox, GTK, etc
I have discovered a workaround for this bug. When new abnormal window appears, you must close the NEW TAB, which is also appears. After this, do not try to open in new tab the same link, just do something else before. In this case you can continue to work with firefox until the next time when abnormal window will appear :)
Two weeks ago I recompiled my firefox with +moznopango. After that time the bug disappeared, though before it had happened almost every day. So, I believe the bug is related with mozilla-pango interaction.
