Ver. 17.0.1, Win 7, within an hour after starting Firefox, Firefox completely closes then reopens after 2-3 seconds.
This problem is not associated with a particular website or anything else. When Firefox ends itself, the icon in the task bar disappears and when it reopens the icon is back in the task bar. Firefox always comes back in 2-3 seconds to the same place where it was when it closed. This happens only once per session. I don't think it happens every session. I can't tell when this started. I have not made upgrades to my computer other than what Firefox has done. I have run virus scans, etc....no help.

Try the Firefox Safe Mode to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)
- You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the Shift key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
- Or use the Help menu item and click on the Restart with Add-ons Disabled... menu item while Firefox is running.
Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode" To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again. If it is good in the Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.
Please follow the Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems article for that.
