I've been using Firefox lately, and there seem to be several cases where,
when I click on a displayed link in another application, the focus goes
first to an already-running Firefox and then a new instance (slowly) opens
to the linked location.
  I'm pretty sure that on some of the few occasions when there didn't happen
to alread be a Firefox window open, it created a blank one as you describe,
and then one to the linked URL.

  In other words, I don't think it's anything PowerMarks is doing -- I think
it's something in the way that Windows passes the URL to Firefox that
doesn't behave quite the way the Firefox programmers believed it would.  And
so I think the fix, if any, needs to be made within Firefox.
