Odd that you say you are asked when you "re-enter" FF. On my machine, when I 
click the close button, the window disappears and THEN the clear data window 
appears. Nothing appears when I launch FF. Are you sure that you're seeing 
something on launch and not just a leftover from the last execution?

By the way, which method are you using to close your windows?

1) What you describe is what I expect(ed).
2) OK: "on launch" is better than "re-enter". 
  What I described is at launch.
3) I'm sure it is NOT a leftover.
4) The same thing happens either when I use the close button "X" in the
top right corner or when I use File | Exit.

By the way the automatic part of the report says: Firefox 1.4, while I  use
Firefox beta 1. 

By the way: 
A) I have also Firefox 1.0.4 installed (in a different directory).
I would like to keep it that way, so I can use both the stable and the
beta versions.
B) Firefox beta 1 is not the default browser, Firefox 1.0.4 is the default
browser.

Any more questions?

this issue is Adblock Plus related
Updating to 0.5.9.2 should fix it

Indeed. Removing Adblock solved the problem.
However: 
1) I could not update Adblock to 0.5.9.2 which I would have preferred.
Or how should I change from AdBlock to AdBlock Plus?
2) Now Firefox 1.0.5 reprts a runtime error and quits when I choose
 Tools | extension from Firox 1.0.5

Uninstall Adblock and install Adblock Plus from
http://bene.sitesled.com/adblock.htm should automatically load 0.5.9.2
