Why do I have two appIcon in my dock after I start up ff4.0b1 in MacOSX-snow??

before I start up FF4b1 everything is just fine, there is only one FF-icon in my dock(Mac OSX snow leopard). after start up, there are two. One at the fixed placed and the other at the place where no-docked applications are automaticly put by OSX. This Icon is clickable but there is no menu-items except for the Firefox-menu-item, which does not open. In the dock I can quit the icon and it seems to have close the extra menu/application. But after a few click thru pages, for some undefined reason it restarts.

== upgrade to FF4b1

trying to figure it out more detailed on when and why, it seems to start up on flash powered contained in the site. For example, when firing of a site like 'apple' nothing happens but when launching youtube or even a site with flv in it, at first the FLV shows the following message (see screenshot attached) when reloading the page, the second icon appears in the dock. Then when you quit the second icon from in the popup-menu of the dock (you can't do anything within the FF-menus), the FLV file goes back in the state of the error. Is it a bug or even an 'flv vs html5 clash'-issue???
