lately, When I double click on a .html file, two Mozilla Firefox windows pop up instead of the normal single window, What could be causing this?
The Firefox shortcut on Desktop only opens in a single window.

What do you get in the 2 windows?

Do the same happen if you create a blank file in notepad and save it as test.html then try to open that?

Sometimes both windows open with the webpage, other times one with the webpage the other blank.

test.html opens in two Fiefox windows upon double click. Well, both blank.

What version of Firefox are you using? You should be on 2.0.0.8 if not then I suggest you update. The only references to this I can find go way back 3 years!

Firefox version 1.0. I guess updating is the best thing to do.
Could you please explain how this could occur

The problem occurs because of a bug in earlier versions of Firefox, so updating is the way to go.
