First firefox launch after boot up is invisible (but sounds play from video app on one of the tabs)

[Glenton Jelbert]

Binary package hint: firefox

I booted up, clicked the firefox button and waited. Nothing appeared to happen (which has happened before), but this time it became apparent that firefox *had* actually started, because the sounds from a FIFA world cup highlights tab that had been open when I shut down began to play.

Pressing the firefox button again caused a new firefox session to open as normal, but with the sound from the FIFA tab continuing until it finished.

I went to the system monitor and shut down the firefox session with the highest CPU usage, but it seemed to shut down all the firefox sessions. I then restarted, and the same problem occurred.
