1st problem see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls

2nd problem, to close Firefox properly use File > Exit

not with the [x] in upper right corner which close window
see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs#Hang_at_exit
if restarting use "Restartless Restart" extension as mentioned there.


Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.
