I have these problems, as well, but after disabling and re-enabling extensions and plug-ins one by one, it appears these issues are related to the Java Console 6.0.22 extension update. With this extension disabled and the older Java 6.0.20 enabled, I could open a new window and FF could exit correctly even with the updated Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.220.4 and Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U22 6.0.220.4 plug-ins enabled.

The question is whether FF is conflicting with the Java Console update or the Java Console update is the true culprit. I'm leaning toward the latter.

Firefox 3.6.10

Extensions: Java Console's (noted above), Better Privacy 1.48.3, Download Helper 4.8.1, Scrapbook Plus 1.8.17.31,Vacuum Places Improved 1.1, and ZoneAlarm Toolbar 1.5.152.10

Plug-ins: Java Platform and Toolkit (noted above), Mozilla Default 1.0.0.15, QuickTime 7.6.8.0, Silverlight 4.0.50917.0, Windows Genuine Advantage 1.9.0042.0, and WPF 3.5.30729.1

Vista Home Premium (SP2)
