I have Firefox 3.6.11. Nearly every time I close Firefox, a Firefox screensaver pop-up appears on my Desktop. I want it gone.

That isn't a standard Firefox feature, something you installed has added that to Firefox.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."

If not, see this:
