didn't happen.

1.  Nothing
2.  NOthing

Expected Results:  
homepage should have opened after the first click

Launching Firefax sometimes (quite often even) doesn't seem to show the browser
window or do anything, although in the process list firefox.exe shows running
and even consuming about 18 MB of memory. After several start attemts (1 - 2
minutes between) it finnaly shows up. Sometimes it helps killing the process
from the memory (firefox.exe) and starting it again. My homepage is the Firefox
Start page so the URL is not an issue.

I would say that is is not always reproductable.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
