I sometimes get this one also. But the profile window is not always popping up. 
What is the same: in task manager you still see firefox.exe. Closing this one
gives you the opportunity to restart firefox properly.

Reporter: Does this happen every time you open/close Firefox? Does this also
occour with a new profile?

i figured out that it happens when i open up web pages with WMV movies that are
playable on the site itself

This has been happening to me quite often since I upgraded the computers in my
office to 1.0.  It doesn't happen all the time, but often.  I see other bug
submissions for the same thing, but they all appear to be marked as
"UNCONFIRMED".  I think they might want to change that.  Seems pretty confirmed
to me.

The same here on FreeBSD 5.3. I need to manually kill firefox-bin processes
every time. 100% reproducible.
