Well -- I got lucky with that guess.
But you newtusmaximus deserve some of the credit for that guess. Your original post is a good example of why it's important to post as many details as possible when asking for help. If you hadn't added that little detail that T-Bird flashed briefly during shutdown, I never would have thought to ask you to clear saved sessions. (So you get a "Thank" mark for giving good info on your post.)
What probably happened to cause the problem is you shutdown the computer while T-Bird was still open. (Possibly on another workspace and you forgot about it being there. Something I've done many times myself.) If you have the "Save Session" box checked during shutdown (or if you accidentally click it), then the next time you start the computer I believe that means it's going to try starting whatever programs you had running at the time you shutdown. Next time you shut down computer, on the window that pops up with Shutdown, Logout, etc. -- near bottom you'll see "Save session". Just make sure it's not checked if don't want to use that feature.
