--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 I have a web app that opens a sub-window in javascript, eg...
 windowRef1 = window.open("something.com", "window1");
 If you open Firebugs console for the sub-window and type:
 window.name
 .. it will return "window1".
 However if I have TOR button 1.4.4 installed, this stops working after a
 while. I.e. the sub-window looses its name property (goes to empty
 string).
 I have been unable to tie down exactly when this is happening (not sure
 when TOR button is clearing it) but seems to be some time after a new page
 is loaded into the sub-window.
 The bug appears even if the TOR is dissabled and vidialia is not running.
 The bug is not present in TOR Button 1.4.0. It is present in 1.4.4.
 I have tested it with FF3.6 and FF6
 I'm running windows7 64 bit.
