After I switch to a tab that has loaded the provided URL, I lose the ability to change tabs by clicking on them. I can still ctrl-tab, ctrl-shift-tab, and ctrl-1/2/3/etc. And I can create new tabs, and close them with ctrl-W. And drag them around! Just can't click them. It doesn't happen every time, and I can eventually remedy the problem by opening new windows and tabs, and closing them. After a while I will get a bunch of tab changes and sometimes window-raises, which don't _seem_ to be related to the tabs I tried to select when it was busted. My console gets Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMXULElement.boxObject]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml :: get_docShell :: line 0" data: no] a fair bit, but not once per attempted tab select, nor once per breakage of tab-switching. I don't really even know where to begin, I confess.

I've seen this same problem a few times, always on Windows.
