It has something to do with either OS widgets and/or GTK(resizing a window >65555 pixels). Nothing special, i.e. code execution, but interesting to say the least.
I think the fact that the window and task bar item "disappears"(process is still running) then "reappears" after the timeout if neat.
- daleharvey 15y agofor me the window dissapeared and never reappeared, every time I killed firefox it restored an invisible window, I was close to wiping my profile before it suddenly went away. If you are really curious then I would use a new profile to try it
- woodall 15y agoWhat version of FF are you using? It should only sleep for a bit and come back.
