observed behavior on a x64 win7 enterprise system, with firefox window open/cycling through bookmarks, the opening of a new window does not trigger the task but only when another tab is clicked AND THEN back to the just opened bookmark/tab
it does not make any difference if using explicit full value string or partial match

Just tested "Wimdow watcher" trigger on Windows 7 x64 with FireFox window.
It works properly.

do not test with just firefox itselt, have FF and inside it several tabs open, to different web sites in ONE window
now open a new tab to a new site that is being watched
robotask will not respond .... until the focus is switched away to another window or clicking on desktop.... now return to that tab in firefox, only then does robotask find it
make sure you do this on a x64 bit version to replicate

New tab is not a new window. New tab is only element of existing window only
In this case you should use "Window change caption" parameter of the trigger.
If you open new tab the window of FF is already opened and it is already active. So the trigger doesn't react to this event.
Pay attention that the window of FF only changes own title (caption) in this case.
BTW: The same behavior is for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome
