open ion a new window doesn't work
Firefox 3.6.3, Windows Vista 64 bit. When I "open in a new window", it does not happen, but apparently another instance of Firefox opens in the background. After closing Firefox, if I open the ask manager, I see another instance running which I have to kill before I can start Firefox again. I have also noticed that my video download helper no longer appears in the navigation bar, nor in the Tools menu, even though it says it does when I look at the add-on options. Not sure if this is related. I have completely removed Firefox and installed Firefox 3.6.3, and the problem remains.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to, I think, 3.5

- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen).
