> Okay, I can try to do that next time it happens. I suppose the method would be to open regedit during the endless loop, take a screenshot, close it again, open it again, and make another screenshot?

You don't have to close regedit.  During the endless loop, please press F5 several times to refresh the values and see which values change.

> It may also be worth noting I often spend very long periods without closing Firefox. Can easily be many days. So it wouldn't be surprising at all to me if two consequent updates are released during one run of the browser. Not sure if that would be relevant but I thought I'd mention it.

Thank you for mentioning this.  Having updates might impact this launching scenario.  I'll look into it tomorrow.

You don't have to close regedit.  During the endless loop, please press F5 several times to refresh the values and see which values change.  Or, instead of regedit, you can run the command `reg query HKCU\software\mozilla\firefox\launcher` several times to dump the registry values, which may be easier.
