Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:17.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/17.0
Build ID: 20130107124423
Steps to reproduce:
For many years (since Windows XP and now Windows 7) and Firefox versions I've been starting Firefox from a startup .cmd script as
start "Firefox" /D"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox" .\firefox.exe
Actual results:
Since an upgrade to ESR 17.0.2, Firefox starts but the startup .cmd file hangs on exit. Closing the command window via the [X] causes Firefox to terminate.
No other applications started in the same manner have this behavior.
Expected results:
This used to launch Firefox as an independent process as intended by the start command. When the startup .cmd file ended, FireFox remained active.
Your bug is probably a dupe of bug 787313 which has been fixed in Firefox 18.
Could you try this workaround, please?
