This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.

I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode (make sure you close all running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.

If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.

If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.

Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.
