Hmmm,

I've seen the following a couple of times and I'm wondering whether
others have also noticed this.

Every now and then I do a refresh (at least I think I'm refresh) of a
page in Firefox and it opens the current page in a new window, without
any of the usual page trimmings (like navigation, bookmarks, etc).  Much
like a javascript window.open would do with just the bare necessities.

When I close this unexpected window, firefox crashes, wiping out all
firefox windows.  However, a couple of times I've noticed small firefox
windows behind this window that I know I haven't opened and that look
suspiciously like what I would imagine would be in a pop-up window if I
saw one (I only use filefox, so any pop-ups are rare to say the least).

I have seen something a lot like that. I noticed that someone reported similar in mozilla's bugzilla:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336646

It used to happen much more frequently for me about a year or two ago, but even in firefox 2.0, I still occasionally see it. (I don't use the fedora rpms in this case.) I've at least learned to not kill the window! But once I do see it, it's time to think about restarting firefox.

I have seen this sometimes too... try refreshing again and the window might disapaer (happend for me but not always). I had no idea how to fill this bug too.
