I received this amusing Firefox error message when opening Firefox this morning. The strange thing is that Firefox still let me load all my tabs from the previous browsing session, so I’m not sure if there was actually a problem. I upgraded an extension as I was opening, but I’m not sure if it was related.
I’ve been very happy with Firefox 3.5 and enjoying the speed improvements.

I usually get that error when I haven’t used File> Exit. I noticed the error shows when you click on the “X”.
Also, do you have “minimize to tray” running? if you do then this will happen unless you right click and “Exit” firefox from there or as I mentioned above.
Since doing that I haven’t see this error each time I start up firefox.

This was occurring all the time for me. Turned out to be a trojan buried in GoogleUpdate.exe then replicated itself into GoogleUpdateBeta.exe.
Very easy to get rid of, you can search but use msconfig.msc to get rid of googleupdate from startup and services. Then search in regedit for it and delete both keys and locations indicated in reg settings. Then check scheduledtasks in control panel for self inserter buried there. Then Firefox behaves forever.
Only had trouble on one computer because ZoneAlarm catches this on the other.
