Details

I played a Flash video inside Facebook. It seemed to crash, and Metro opened. When I forcibly returned to Classic from the Firefox menu, my Facebook app tab was gone.

Then I managed to get it to switch into Metro by swiping or somehow moving the Surface vigorously.

It also switches if I rotate the screen to portrait mode.

What gives?

Surface Pro, 8.1.
Rotation switches reliably between Classic and Metro.

Every time it switches, I lose an app tab, and/or whatever tab was currently selected.
Possibly a duplicate of bug 940677.
Depends on: 940677
So this'll be fixed in tomorrow's Nightly? Having Firefox quit itself and drop me into the Start menu when the keyboard accidentally disconnects (another mechanism!) is incredibly hostile.
