If you comment out lines 5 and 6 from your example snippet (where you sleep, then try to use the first browser window again), does your script still die after the JSTypeError exception is raised?
Or does the exception not reproduce unless you perform the "@b.button(:name, 'Button').click" in the first browser window? As mentioned earlier, I had some similar issues with self-closing Firefox windows in 1.6.2 - but for me, those issues were fixed in Watir 1.6.5. Can you paste the HTML of the link (and any JavaScript it invokes) that closes the second browser window? Specifically, this link: @b2.link(:text, 'select ') That might be useful in creating a repro environment.
