i upgraded to 3.6.15 on my powerbook g4 and now whenever i open firefox it opens in a finder window first. well to better explain i get the finder window with the diagram telling me to drag the icon into my applications folder (which i have already done 100 times) - if i ignore this finder window then after a few seconds firefox eventually opens but only after this delay and finder window opening evertyime. it never used to do this, is there something i have missed. when i look in my applications folder, firefox is there and when i drag the icon it tells me it is already there would i like to replace? bit confusing. i just want to firefox to open as usual with no finder windows!! thanks in advance for any help.
