In his original post, he said that he had already formatted/reinstalled in 
order to try and fix the problem.  That means the restore points that may 
have been available from before the issue began are now gone.  I don't see a 
restore doing anything to help at this point.

Instead, I strongly suspect the manner in which Firefox was brought back to 
life.  If Steve has saved a backup of his Firefox 'Profile' and then pointed 
the new install to use it instead of starting from scratch, that would be 
enough to bring any oddities right back into the new OS.  This doesn't 
explain how the problem started or what caused it, but it likely explains 
how it persisted through a reinstall of the OS.

Peace,
Gman
