When trying to log out of a site on Firefox, the site is still active and when I try to sign back on to Firefox I get a message that Firefox is still running and must be closed before any further activity is attempted.

As a workaround kill the Firefox and any related processes e.g. plugincontainer.exe using for instance task manager

IF' you have Firefox set to clear History at close down it is probably a known bug. Set Firefox to remember History.

  • New Button -> Preferences -> |Privacy| History Firefox will [Remember History v]]

You can use Private Browsing Windows if it helps, but you may need to close these before closing down Firefox

The bug is being worked on. if you do not wish to wait for the fix to get to the Release There is a possible fix in the Beta channel version of Firefox

(If you consider installing that do NOT use any option that deletes personal information; do not delete the profile - In fact there is no need to uninstall Fx29 just install Fx30 over the top of it)
