Firefox process does not stop after closing Firefox. Unable to start a new Firefox session because original process does not stop on close.
Firefox process does not stop running when program is closed. This prevents me from starting a new browser session without manually stopping the Firefox process. Issue started with 10.0 and 10.0.1 install/upgrade.
Running Windows 7

When this happens go into task manager(ctrl+shift+esc) and then end firefox.exe process and then start firefox and be on your way.
I can do this, but I'm trying to understand why I have to do it everytime. Should I simply uninstall Firefox and reinstall the full 10.0.1 update?
