On both of my PC’s I’ve set Firefox to remember tabs that I used the last time, so that I can continue where I left the day before. However, almost every time I boot a Firefox window briefly pops up, and then disappears. Ctrl + Esc shows a Firefox process running, that I have to kill in before I start Firefox in order to bring up my last session.
Its intended for a preloaded firefox and faster firefox startup.
You can go to the Startup settings in Systemsettings to disable the preload script to deactivate that behavior.
