Anyone got any ideas about Firefox not quitting? To shut the program down I am always having to Force Quit as it will sit there for hours trying to quit, but never being able to do so. I'm running OSX Yosemite 10.10.5. Any help would be wonderful

With gratitude

Are you using "Clear history when Firefox closes" ?

Thanks for the quick response. That hasn't appeared to work

Start Firefox in Safe Mode {web link} by holding down the <Shift> (Mac=Options) key, and then starting Firefox.

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Safe Mode (not Refresh).

Don't do anything. Just let it sit for a few minutes. After, close the browser. Is the problem still there?
