So, this is another indication that the paths aren't working correctly - 
  firefox should have opened with a pre-loaded profile that would allow 
the shutdown script to work, as it was you got the unsafe operation 
popup window.

Can you tell me the path where firefox is on your machine?  And how it 
looks in the config file?  And the same for the profile path?  I'm 
hoping that I could set up pretty much the same configuration on my test 
box and see if I can re-create your situation.

Thanks for sticking with this!  It is also reminding me that I need to 
make another revision of the instructions to cover more of the pitfalls.
