User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091201 Firefox/3.5.6 GTB6 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Firefox only runs if it is started twice, then proceeds to open two windows. Happens after a period of inactivity (after system wakes up from standby), or after an initial system boot or restart.
Also, when I started Firefox and the 3.5.6 download came up, it installed successfully, checked for add-on updates, but did not start Firefox afterwards. (I gave 5 mins). I then started Firefox again and two windows opened (including the Mozilla homepage from the download complete).
If the computer is active (for example now I'm typing this report) I can restart Firefox or open a new window without a hitch.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. After a system boot, start Firefox
2. Wait 5 mins to check if it will start up
3. Start a new Firefox
4. Two windows open
Actual Results:
As above
Expected Results:
Start first time, preferably immediately.
I use AVG 9 (could this be a problem?)
Uses default theme.
Built from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-1.9.1/rev/a31ccbb61076
All add-ons I use have been recommended by Mozilla at some point, with exception of my English dictionary and AVG safe search.

Please create a new profile and test there. It could possibly be your google toolbar. http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles

Could also potentially be caused by an anti-virus program or the like. If comment 1 doesn't work, try disabling any you're using, rebooting, and seeing if the problem persists.
Version: unspecified → 3.5 Branch

This bug has had the CLOSEME tag for several weeks and the date in the tag is
far gone. If the reporter can still see this issue, Please retest with Firefox
3.6.x or later and a new profile
(http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). Then please remove the
closeme tag in the whiteboard, mark the bug against the proper version and
comment on the bug.
