Cannot open email in outlook web app. cannot re-open firefox because it doesnot completely close. uninstalled and re-installed several times.

Question

I cannot open emails in my university's Outlook Web App. I cannot re-open Firefox after I exit because it doesn't really close down (parts still in Task Manager which I have to end before firefox reopens.). I have downloaded installed and re-installed. I run a desktop with Windows 7 ultimate and a 64-bit machine.

Do you have the Firefox icon on your quick launch? Right click
on it, and select '''Open New Window.''' Sometimes this works.
If it opens, close it by '''Menu > File > Exit.'''
This is not a cure but will make it easier if Firefox locks up in Windows.
