When exiting Firefox, it continues to remain active in Task Manager>Processes
When I exit Firefox, it will not start again using the icon or a link within an e-mail message. To fix this problem, I have to open the Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL) select the Processes tab, select firefox.exe instances (always one, sometimes two) and press "End Process" button. Then Firefox will open from its icon or a link.
Why is this happening and how so I prevent it from occurring?

Sounds like it is hanging when you exit and later try to restart Firefox.

- What may cause Firefox to hang at exit
- You may need to try Firefox Safe Mode
- You may need to use Safe Mode to locate the problem: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode
- Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
- If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
