Sometimes I could not restart the firefox after I close it, the warning reads "The firefox is already running, but it is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."

It's quite bothering that I have to terminate the process to start it again.

See "Firefox is already running but is not responding" error - How to fix, in your case it appears to be caused by Firefox hanging when it closes, for more details on that see hang at exit.
