With active downloads and dm open, you can close the main browser window.
However, you cannot simply start a new browser (since it's already running), and the dm does not have an option for opening a new browser window, so you're stuck and have to wait until all downloads are finished.
My current workaround: created a new profile and used that for surfing the net in the meantime :-)
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start browser, activate dm display
2.start a longer download
3.close main browser window
4.try to get it back so you can surf again :-)
Actual Results:
all worked fine until I did it again :-)
Expected Results:
either allow a new browser instance to be created by the start script if only the dm ist still active or add a hotkey or button to the dm to reopen the browser window
I think this is a 'works as designed' or 'you got what you ordered' topic, so I blame my own actions, but it's still annoying for regular users that are using only a single profile

Ctrl+N doesn`t work on the trunk or 1.8 branch, the patch for bug 240696 only landed on the 1.8.0 branch.
