When I launch, and at all times when I'm running, there is an extra window
open... it's a small square window that I can only see when I hit F9 to invoke
Expose - and then it appears. If I command-esc through my Firefox windows the
mystery window is one that gets rotated through (I can tell because the other
window will loose focus - although the mystery window seems to be positioned
offscreen).

The problem is that by loosing focus to this mystery window I get really
confused why keyboard commands don't work on the window that appears to be active.

What causes this window to appear? How can we kill it?
