Every time I close Firefox it crashes
Hi there,
every time I close the last Firefox - Tab the Process is hanging for some time and then the Firefox-Crash-Window will appear. This happens in also safe mode and I am using the new Firefox-Version. What can I do?

Hi there,
sorry for the late reply but neither the Kapserski - Addon nor any other Plugin / Add-on was the reason. The suggestion with the new profile brought me an idea. I did the following:
1. MozBackup for the whole Profile 2. Delete Cookies and web-site Data: problem still there 3. Deinstallation of Firefox and installation of a new, empty firefox: Problem solved 4. Restore Profile from Backup without Cookies and web-site Data: Problem back 5: Profile deleted again: Problem solved -> something in the profile is causing the Problem 6. Restore without History and General Settings: Problem solved 7. Profile deleted again and restored without History: Problem back 8. Profile deleted again and restored without General Settings: Problem solved
So, finally something in the General Settings was causing the Problem. Hope to help anyone with the detailed solution.

Thank you for your time!

Crash Reason EXCEPTION_BREAKPOINT
Attention Sumo's there are over 60 related bug reports
inproc_agent.dll = Kaspersky Inproc Agent
klsihk64.dll = AO Kaspersky Lab
Update Kaspersky. If the problem continues, disable it.
Hi FreeMcD,
I did what you suggested, but It didn't help. I also reinstalled Firefox - but no Change. I got a new Crash-Report for you:
bp-b52d08f1-2544-4cf2-a2de-dda680181213
What else can you suggest?
Additional Info: After I closed Firefox, there are still 3 processes visible in the Task Manager. While Firefox is running, I got 8 for 2 Windows. Is this normal?

Disable Kaspersky. Is the problem still there? If not, contact Kaspersky support.
Are you using "Clear history when Firefox closes" to clear session data?
Does it has effect if you disable this feature?
You can create a new profile to test if your current profile is causing the problem.
See "Creating a profile":
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles
- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a previously used profile to the new profile, but be cautious not to copy corrupted files to avoid carrying over problems.
