I have FF open use it for awhile, then I minimize the program to work on something else. All by itself, FF will open up over the program I am using (word, outlook, whatever). Or if I have all my programs minimized and stop using my computer, FF will open up across my screen. Not great for work. May have to switch to Google Chrome.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
