FireWatir currently only lets you interact with one browser window at a time, so once you've attached to a new Firefox browser, you have to close it down before you can interact with your first browser again. I think there was some more info on this in posts to the Watir dev list a few months ago...can't find it at the moment though. Still, I would also say this is worth an enhancement request if there isn't one already.

Running ruby 1.8.6 Win XP SP3 Version of Watir from github from (5/20/2009) - reports as 1.6.2, but its not the released version. It appears that my browser windows are getting their wires crossed somehow. I'm attaching code that should show the problem. What I see: Browser A goes to a page and clicks on a link to open a print friendly view of the page. Browser C should attach to the new window. Somehow Browser A now thinks that it's the same thing as Browser C? What I expected: Browser A and Browser C remain separate. Code to use in IRB #watir_browser is set to FF - using v 3.0.0.10 on my local machine. require 'Watir' a=Watir::Browser.new a.goto("http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/baseball/mlb/05/21/peavy.trade/index.html";) a.image(:alt,"PRINT").click # wait_until(30) { c=Watir::Browser.attach(:url,/printthis/) } # this line is not working yet. sleep 10 # attach will throw exception if the window does not appear in time. c=Watir::Browser.attach(:url,/printthis/) # if the window does not appear in time. a.url # returns the URL from c! I'm thinking that I should probably log this in JIRA, but I figured that I'd open the discussion 1st.
