When i close firefox, a CMD window appears and then dissapears and firefox closes. This has happened all after Norton removed a file due to it thinking it was bad (while scanning on its own accord) The file that opens the window is located here: C:\Users\Robert\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\jkqm25xu.default I think it may be one of the sessionstore javascript files.

hello, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once? if not, maybe an addon is causing this...
