If a shortcut is used while Firefox is already open the error does not occur.

For me the problem was related to the FoxClock extension. Once I disabled it, the problem was gone.

Hope this help.

The same thing happens to me with FireFox 7.0.1, Windows 7 64 bit. As others have reported, it does not happen if FireFox is already open. Also, if I mahe Internet Explorer (ugh) or Chrome the default browser, the problem does not happen. Only with FireFox.

Solved (for me). The problem was Roboform 7.5.5. When they updated to 7.5.6, the issue with Firefox 7 was resolved. Note that the problem did not occur with any other browsers before, and now it is fixed in Firefox 7.

As reported in earlier replies, the annoyance disappeared after I upgraded to Roboform 7.5.6, from 7.5.4.
