Happens every time I boot. The window that pops up is the one with the Firefox icon, a right arrow, then the applications icon. I moved it there successfully when first installed. Why does it keep asking me to do it again when Firefox is already open successfully and sitting in my dock? I can just delete it and continue on fine, but it's very annoying. If I do what it says to try to appease it and make it go away, it will add a second Firefox in my apps then try to open it again and fail b/c it's already open. Frustrating and annoying, no lethal.
