New 3.6 version would not force quit; had to shut down whole system after multiple attempts, the computer finally shut down. Then, upon turning the Mac back on, a restored Firefox session opened plus a new Firefox window opened. How come this happened?

This happened

Just once or twice

== new version 3.6 automatically installed itself

Same problem with Firefox 5 on OS 10.6.7.

Solution: Use a more reliable browser and dump this trash.
