This happens only when launching firefox from a keybinding or through dmenu (also launched from a keybinding).

I'm using the xmonad darcs from yesterday (19). xmonad 0.8.1 doesn't suffer from this problem nor do other WMs (openbox and awesome), so I guess it's due to something that changed between 0.8.1 and yesterday. Launching firefox in the affected version from a terminal also has no problems.

I doubt it has something to do with WM. You'd rather investigate how firefox is started. Maybe the cause is the difference in environment variables?

The semantics of how we fork processes changed in the head. Spencer, thoughts? -- Don
