Works for me. Normally you should be able to open and close Firefox as often as you want.
Maybe this is caused by some extension. Run Firefox in its safemode or disable your extensions one by one to find the culprit.

Or else a new profile will probably solve the problem.

After a new installation of win xp and now using firefox 1.5.0.3, I don't have this problems anymore.
