Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.1-2
Severity: important
I've seen that many times at ogame.de (online-game). There's a navigation frame
and a main-content-frame. When I click a link in the navigation
frame, firefox sometimes shows the content in a new window "A" (without any
tool- status- or menubar, marked with an "X"-Symbol in the headline)
instead of loading it into the mainframe. This doesn't happen every time but
maybe every 4th or 5th try. When I close this new window "A", all
running instances crash. When I click the same link (in the navogation frame)
again, FF sometimes opens a new window "B" but sometimes it closes
window "A" and everything runs normal again. When I close the main window,
windows "A" and "B" are closed too and the other instances keep running.

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
