Firefox does not shut down properly upon exit
Firefox 29.0.1 does not always close properly upon exit. It will occasionally hang (4 or 5 times a day) and the process stays in memory. I have to go to the Windows Task Manager in order to kill the process and restart Firefox. Also, page load times seem to have noticeably increased from the previous version.
Here is some relevant system info: OS Name Microsoft Windows 7 Professional Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Manufacturer INTEL System Model DZ77GA System Type x64-based PC Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3770K CPU @ 3.50GHz, 3501 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s) BIOS Version/Date Intel Corp.

hello tjhoover5272 , unfortunately this is currently a bug in the current firefox version when you have set your history to be cleared at firefox shutdown (in the privacy section of the firefox options) - that is investigated and in the process of getting fixed by mozilla's developers with a high priority.

This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up.
