Was that a week without restarting Windows, or a week that included restarting
Windows every day?

What would happen when you double-clicked the Firefox icon?

If this happens again, you should check whether a zombie firefox.exe is running.
 To check, Press Ctrl+Shift+Esc to bring up the Windows Task Manager, select the
"Processes" tab (IIRC), and look for firefox.exe.

Btw, you should upgrade to Firefox 1.0.7 (for security fixes, not to help with
this kind of bug).

This bug was reported on Firefox 2.x or older, which is no longer supported and will not be receiving any more updates. I strongly suggest that you update to Firefox 3.6.3 or later, update your plugins (flash, adobe, etc.), and retest in a new profile. If you still see the issue with the updated Firefox, please post here. Otherwise, please close as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME
