Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox

Sometimes it is very difficult to switch between several instances of Firefox using bars in the panel. It happens only on my desktop computer. When several Frefox session are opened with Firefox bars being displayed in the panel I can switch only 3 times between them. After that I must wait more than 10 seconds to be able to switch again through the panel. There is no problem with switching between other applications as far as it is not Firefox -> sth switch. Switch from all other applications to Firefox work perfectly. A workaround is to minimize the Firefox window which is on top to show another application window below.

I have no problems to switch between firefox instances, or what ever other application is in the panel (if I understand right what the problem is).

Apparently it happened only once. After restarting computer I cannot reproduce this bug either. If it happens once more, I will post some info.
