Everytime I get out of Firefox and try to bring it back up, I am told "Firefox is already running, but not responding. Please restart your computer". This is getting very aggravating. Is there some kind of a fix? in English

How long are you waiting before trying to re-open Firefox? It does take it a little while to shut down.

Sometimes it's several minutes, and other times I can come right back into it. Usually I shut it down when I'm done balancing my checking account. Then I'll try to open Firefox to play games or shop and I'll have to restart my laptop.

If that happens when you wait 30 to 60 seconds after closing Firefox, see this:
