Hello there,

I have an issue with FF 15.0.1 for a while. When I have opened popup window, its URL is empty and reload doesn't work, neither CRTL+R. Reload option in context menu disabled as well. It you click on any link in the popup, all become available. It is very inconvenient, as I do web development and refresh page often to see the changes.

I think, it started when FF crashed recently.

Thanks for any suggestions.
