In any event, the unusualness of your symptoms and the fact that they span versions and builds strongly suggest their orginate outside Firefox proper.
No nothing usual. The only reasons I think it's firefox is it doesn't happen with Konqueror and it got worse with the latest update.
You don't think that the fragmentation of frames into separate windows is unusual? Did anyone report to you they've had the same problem? The fact that it's getting worse is consistent with their being add-in(s) or plug-in(s) that are incompatible and as the interface between browser and add-in or plug-in changes over time (or as bugs that were relied on are fixed), the symptom worsens. I'm no expert, but I do believe that one could write add-in code to create these symptoms (by altering the HTML or DOM), so it's perfectly plausible that it's a malfunctioning add-in. Anyway, what is your hypothesis? Apart from trying different versions and building your own version of the software, what have you done to diagnose the problem? Have you tried eradicating (or cleaning out) your ~/.mozilla/firefox directory? Have you looked there for anything that could survive re-installs and rebuilds (as Ken Schneider suggested)?
