NVDA problem on start with Firefox in focus #5758

Description

@JamaicanUser

When I exit a copy of NVDA and/or start a new one (I've seen this in NVDA 2015.4 and NVDA 2016.1rc1) with the latest Firefox (44.0.2 on my current check) in focus, I get the following error:
ERROR - virtualBuffers.Gecko_ia2.loadBuffer (22:20:07):
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "virtualBuffers__init
_.pyo", line 369, in _loadBuffer
WindowsError: [Error 1702] The binding handle is invalid
This results in only the Tab key being the only working key. No navigation quick keys, no arrow keys work. To avoid the trouble, I sometimes have to press Windows+D so Firefox's not in focus, then close up and/or start up NVDA. I'm using Windows 10 64-bit build 10586
