If "open links from other applications in" is set to "a new window," the most
recently active window will be restored to full size (if it was minimized).
This is undesirable. It should not adjust windows that are already open in any way.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any number of firefox windows (set to whatever webpages you desire).
2. Minimize a window in such a way as to make sure no other firefox window
activates. The easiest way to do this is to minimize all firefox windows - then
the last one minimized was the most recently active window. However, it still
will restore a minimized window if other windows are open as long as the
minimized window was the most recently active one.
3. Then click on a link in some other program (e.g. gaim).
Actual Results:
The most recently active (minimized) window will restore before the new window
is opened.
Expected Results:
A new window should have opened. No other window should have been restored from
a minimized state.

Works for me, just opened a url from a window in the IRC client mIRC, and it
opened in a new window when the option the reporter mentions is set.

I'm not sure you understand the error. It open in a new window. It just
restores a window it shouldn't first.
