When clicking external links (from Emails, Twitter Client, Messenger/Skype windows), if Firefox is closed it will open two windows; One with my homepage and a second with the actual link. However, if firefox is open, the external link will just open in a new tab as instructed.

It was reported a while back (https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/forum/1/560561?s=clicking%20external%20link%20opens%20up%20two%20windows&as=q) however, the questions seems to be 'solved' with someone saying they have the same problem.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I upgraded to 3.6
