Launching the browser directly by double clicking the target executable has the same issue.
Is this issue reproducing to you when session restore is activated? If so, it could be a duplicate of this bug: Bug 1454156

Still seems to me as a duplicate of Bug 1454156 based on Comment 2. I will mark it accordingly.

Re: Restore Prev. Sess: This isn't applicable to the case I've reported because I keep the menu item "Restore Previous Session" disabled (always greyed out). Rgds & Thx.
Hi, I performed a fresh installation of Firefox 65.0b4 (32-bit) by obtaining the .msi installer from https://ftp.mozilla.org. Regret to inform that this issue still persists. I have tried to debug the firefox.exe executable by manually launching the devenv.exe program along with the appropriate args just to try to pinpoint as to what's going on; however, except for .PDB not loading errors and a few Javascript warnings (seen in the vs2017 O/P window), I'm unable to gather little info. None of step into, over or out of the code blocks reveal anything abnormal. As an aside, I'm running the debugger as a normal user(less privileged). Thanks. P.S: 1)Uninstalled older 63.x. 2)Installed 65.x... 3)after installation, and reboot, at time of launching program it prompted for creating a fresh profile to which I said 'Yes'.
